Wonderful documentary/bio of the culinary genius who more than any other person dragged America out of 1950s TV dinner hell and put it on a path to where its cuisine is now comparable to that of any other country (well, except, maybe, Italy). Among this film's many virtues is fast pacing (it manages to cover all the salient points in 90 min), judicious use of the subject's own voice, a good assortment of, although not over reliance on, talking heads that include friends, colleagues and family, and a balanced tone that brings out the subject's warts...homophobia and venality being the two most egregious, in my view,,,as well as the virtues, chief among which is a generosity of spirit and an inexhaustible enthusiasm and energy. Bravo to directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West. Definitely an A.
