Worst documentary I've ever seen, May 31, 2002
This review is from: Biography - Clark Gable [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Biography usually does a pretty good job with their documentaries, but let me tell you this is not one of them! Only a handful of people are interviewed during this hour-long video, none of them who really knew Clark Gable well and don't have much to say. You get the impression that Gable's biographer, giving certain accounts of Gable's life, has about two hours of sleep the night before. Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of the screen time seems to be given to Gable's white-trash son, who was born after Gable's death and therefore didn't really know his father, and proves it by seeming to talk more about his own life than his father's. I got the impression that they had to include him in the film just to get access to photographs in the family album.
Poor editing, with virtually no interesting content to boot, makes this a sad documentary indeed.
