- Synopsis:
"Life is a journey", George Stevens wrote in his wartime journal. "And it's always most interesting when you're not sure where you're going". Signposts marking Stevens' life journey are here in a celebration of his work, humanity and times. Created by George Stevens, Jr., this moving portrait captures the moviemaker's career sweep from lighthearted early works to weightier postwar tales of social consciousness. The films explored are unforgettable: Alice Adams, Swing Time, Gunga Din, Shane, Giant, Stevens' own World War II footage (the only colour film of the European ground war) and six other classics. The interviews with over 20 actors and directors are captivating. The emotional impact is lasting. If you love movies, it's a journey well worth taking. - Actors:
