This solid documentary short's title refers to Mason's evil-but-sexy persona of the 1940s, in movies like The Seventh Veil and The Wicked Lady. The man himself, in interview footage shot just before his death, is courteous and mild-mannered in the extreme, tearing up at memories of A Star is Born's climax. With so much ground to cover, the film pretty much ignores all his movies after 1970, but if that means no footage of Bloodline or Yellowbeard, that's possibly a blessing.
