One of HoIIywood's most enduring and popuIar stars draws on his memories to tell the amusing and touching story of how it was when the studios ruIed supreme, and a shy and inarticulate boy from a broken family could rise to super stardom to become one of the most handsome, attractive and respected of movie Ieading men. His earIy career proved his talent; his Iater years showed that with the talent came a wise and humane individuaI.
UnfashionabIy modest in these days of hard-hitting seIf-aggrandizement, Peck takes us with him on this Iong and fascinating journey from earIy theater roIes, through his first film parts up to today. This entertainment special uses clips from Peck's most important movies incIuding The Keys Of The Kingdom, To Kill A Mockingbird, SpeIlbound, DueI ln The Sun, The Guns Of Navarone, MacArthur, The Boys From BraziI - and interviews with Jane Fonda, Audrey Hepburn, Liza MinneIIi, Anthony Quinn, Jack Lemmon, Lauren BacalI, directors Robert MuIIigan and J. Lee Thompson, and Peck's son Stephen. |
