simple stuff, no surprises
Standard 1990s documentary, backdrops, stage settings, and George acting like a news speaker/talking head.
No surprises in the content, a lot of talk about old scandals like Fatty Arbuckle, death of Harlow's husband, etc.
Joan Crawford's early piccadilloes in front of a camera take up most of the show; other legends are frequently name-dropped with little of interest to speak of. Ginger Rogers serves as an example: she made an early screen test which brought her to the attention of RKO but it has never been shown in public as far as is known and as a result is of considerable interest to her fans.... so she is highlighted in the publicity with a "1929 screen test." But in the event, it is a segment of one of her very early shorts, the 9 minute clip "Office Blues" which was re-discovered long ago and has been widely available for probably 20 years. Her actual early screen test for Columbia, as a lawyer, remains missing.
This little example serves to point out that the film is nearly all hype, still.... interesting enough for those interested in 1910s-1930s film industry.
