Featured review
Being a child of the 70s I grew up wit Ray Harryhausen films, which were a staple of Bank Holidays and Christmas telly. Everyone who has worked with the gentleman have said just that, that he was a gentleman. A sweet, passionate man who cared deeply about people and his craft. Ray Harryhausen was a true credit to film makers.
I found this documentary just merely catalogued his films, based around a series of interviews he gave in the 90s. It also included a whole bunch of film makers, talking heads all saying how marvellous that he had inspired them to work in the industry. Well, I wanted to know about Ray Harryhausen, not about why they felt inspired.
I came away learning next to nothing, I might as well have read his filmology on this website for all the use the documentary served. His Wikipedia bio was more insightful.
