Lida N Love.it the world if theater &Broadway movie miss this talent Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Audience Member You may watch this for the music but you will finish having felt fortunate to know the man better. Certainly a prolific artist. What is much more incredible is his simple love of people, his generosity and the amazing love story between him and his wife - proposing without having even seen his future wife based on the same heartfelt intuition that drove his compositions. There are so many awards and no shortage of documentaries about artists and their accomplishments. This is a winner; an artist and a human being. A wonderful film by Dori Berinstein that I didn't want to end. From "The Way We Were" to the score of "Sophie's Choice", "A Chorus Line" and "Behind the Candelabre" nothing is better than having insight into the man himself. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent presentation of a great person and career; I especially enjoyed Kevin Cole's piano playing at the beginning and his comments along with all the luminaries quoted in the film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Such a moving and joyous portrait of a man whose influence on music, In film, and in theatre is immeasurable. This moving portrait of his talent and sense of humor is inspiring. Very well done. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a wonderful program with insight on the versatility of a great talent, gone way to soon. His array of followers and friends in and behind the scenes was quite interesting. He could relate to anyone at anytime. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Splendid documentary covering the amazing life of a genuinely gifted man. Hamlisch's life is presented as a fascinating unfolding with interviews from celebs, probes into his work, and quite especially tapes including Hamlisch himself. He's a delight. Narration is revealing and interesting--none of that "and then he wrote" tedium. I recommend it to all the theatre folks I come in contact with. At the end, I felt I had met a truly extraordinary man. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
