Phenomenal Movie


After seeing this film, I can't believe I didn't already know who Kovacs and Zsigmond were. As a huge fan of a number of the films they worked on, I think it's a tragedy that more people don't know who they are and I hope this documentary changes things.

Even for people who aren't cinemaphiles, there's lots of good stuff in this documentary - just the story of their friendship and escape from Hungary was interesting enough. PBS definitely has a real winner here.

Finally, I also loved some of the musical selections. JJ Johnson's "Seven Days in Tahiti" was a perfect mood setter to conjure up 1960s Hollywood, and I've always been a big fan of Jolie Holland was happpy to hear "Sascha" in the end credits.
