At under an hour in length, its not too hard to sit through, but the images are either under or over exposed, making for less than flattering cinema. He had a hand held camera after all, this was not intended to be a screen gem.

REVIEWS:
1 Ken has assembled one-of-a-kind videos of some of Hollywood's elite, portraying fun-loving and even gracious stars in somewhat private settings, intimately revealing their more personal side. Your opinions of the old Hollywood will soften as Ken narrates his experiences with famous stars.
