    Man took a brain, man kept a brain, makes for a scant story.

    1 hour 18 mins could and should have been condensed to an adequate hour. It is a fascinating story, but only because it involves the most famous celebrity brain of the 20th century. Otherwise, it is largely the life story of the man who took/stole it, and basically, well..kept it for way too long with little product. But it is well produced with lots of interviews with mainly the same few people. Lots of photographs of the period which this viewer had not seen before, all very good quality.

    The book 'Driving Mr Albert' is far more entertaining and informative on the subject, a journey that is for some reason missing from this documentary.
