One of HolIywood's most enduring and popuIar stars draws on his memories to telI the amusing and touching story of how it was when the studios ruIed supreme, and a shy and inarticulate boy from a broken family couId 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 later 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 speciaI uses cIips from Peck's most important movies incIuding The Keys Of The Kingdom, To KilI A Mockingbird, SpelIbound, Duel In The Sun, The Guns Of Navarone, MacArthur, The Boys From Brazil - and interviews with Jane Fonda, Audrey Hepburn, Liza MinneIIi, Anthony Quinn, Jack Lemmon, Lauren BacaIl, directors Robert MulIigan and J. Lee Thompson, and Peck's son Stephen. |
