Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn a 2022 interview with Hawk Koch, George Stevens Jr. reflected on the importance of the film in his career: "I think it was actually in 1984 that I did it, not that long after my father had died. I think it remains the most satisfying thing I've ever done, to have been able to do that and really show who he was and what he did and to have it respected."
- Quotes
[first lines]
Self - Narrator: Centuries ago an artist scrawled on a wall, "Let something of me survive." When my father died, he left these things to me. I looked through them, hoping to learn more about the man I thought I knew best in all the world. Here I found his wartime diary. He had written, "Life is a journey and it's always most interesting when you're not sure where you're going."
- Alternate versionsEdited to approximately 60 minutes for broadcasting on "American Masters".
- ConnectionsEdited from George Stevens' World War II Footage (1946)
Featured review
George Stevens: A Filmmaker's Journey is a fine tribute from his son
Having watched this on Disc Two of Woman of the Year after many years of only knowing of it, I find George Stevens Jr.'s loving tribute to his father quite touching in the way he shows various clips of his dad's most classic movies, his interviews of many of those films' stars as well as many of his father's fellow directors, and of his dad's experiences in life especially what he went through during World War II when he went to Europe to film some military docs. In summary, George Stevens: A Filmmaker's Journey is a fine tribute.
