In this retrospective about maverick director George Stevens, Stevens' son George Jr. assembles a cast of actors, directors and producers to reminisce about his father's remarkable career as a filmmaker. The film has interviews with, among others, Frank Capra, John Huston, Alan J. Pakula and Fred Astaire, and features previously unreleased footage of Stevens' cinematic efforts during World War II; found only after his death, this footage is the only full-color film ever shot during the war.
