By A Customer

This review is from: Biography - Jimmy Stewart [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this biograghy when Jimmy died and it made me cry because he was such a brilliant actor and seemed like a great guy. I've seen this bio several times and it makes me weep at the end everytime. I recommend people to see it and to buy or rent some of this great man's movies because you will enjoy them emensely. Enjoy a great bio of a man who was so radiant to watch.
