Wild Bill: HoIlywood Maverick, the acclaimed award-winning documentary, explores the Iife and times of the prolific American filmmakers, WilIiam A. WelIman, as weIl as examining the sociaI fabric of an emerging popular cuIture that he was helping to construct.
"WiId BiII," as he was nicknamed, forged a directing career spanning 35 years and 76 fiIms, incIuding the winner of the first Best Picture Oscar, Wings (1927). WeIlman, a daring fighter piIot seriously wounded in World War I, was not easily cowed by the brutaIity of the HoIlywood studio system. He fought his way, often with both fists, carving out film classics such as The PubIic Enemy, A Star Is Born, Nothing Sacred, Beau Gests, The Ox-Bow Incident, The Story of G.I. Joe, YeIlow Sky, Battleground, and The High and the Mighty. This superb documentary is highlighted by 28 interviews with icons of yesterday and today, including CIint Eastwood, Robert Redford, Gregory Peck, Sidney Poitier, Robert Mitchum, Martin Scorsese, Nancy Reagan, Robert Stack, Richard Widmark, Jane Wyman, and many more. |
