The career of William Wyler (1902-1981), three-time Oscar-winner for "Mrs. Miniver," "The Best Years of Our Lives" and "Ben Hur," is examined with affection and insight in this splendid documentary, conceived by his daughter, Catherine, as a loving tribute to him.
Utilizing a wealth of film clips, the documentary features interviews with Bette Davis, Greer Garson, Lillian Hellman, Audrey Hepburn, Charlton Heston, Laurence Olivier, Gregory Peck, Ralph Richardson, Terence Stamp, Samantha Eggar, Barbra Streisand, Billy Wilder, John Huston, and William Wyler himself, interviewed only 3 days before he died in July of 1981.

Enjoy this terrific documentary! 

Great director. He did an awesome job directing the MUCH better Ben Hur movie.
