I envy director Daniel Raim. Here's a beautiful love story between two legends. Storyboard artist Harold Michelson was responsible for so many titles that we all know, and the footage of his sketches alone held me captive. Then we learn that his wife Lillian was the research brains that all of Hollywood's producers and directors called when they needed in-depth background on the topics of their films.
The documentary is narrated by Lillian herself, still articulate and hilarious as can be. Watch this film. Highly entertaining, poignant and lots to learn. You may think that director's and cinematographer's control the action you see onscreen, but wait till you see how much a storyboard artist informs the director! Mel Brooks is fun to hear, as is Danny De Vito and others.
I enjoy sharing this doc with film buffs, always a lively discussion after!
