• Captured on Film: The True Story of Marion Davies
|
Genre: Documentary, Biography
Plot: Brooklyn-born Ziegfield girl Marion Davies met William Randolph Hearst in the early 1920s. His financial backing, married to her drive and ambition catapulted her into the world of Hollywood royalty. Aside from becoming the center of the Hollywood social world, which she ruled from the castle Hearst built for her, San Simeon, she also went down in cinema history as the first and funniest screwball comedian as evidenced in films such as SHOW PEOPLE and THE PATSY. Using archival film clips, interviews, and rare home movies, this remarkable documentary explores the life and work of this amazing personality. Also included is Davies' rarely seen classic, QUALITY STREET (1927, 110 minutes).
