WTF. I have never been so turned off by anyone as I was with Ethan Hawke in this documentary. His performance as a goofy homeless idiot was beyond distracting. Every time the film settled into something so very interesting, here come the village idiot with his goofy smile. The subject matter is as good as it gets for a movie buff like myself. It is rich with anecdotes and insights that kept me viewing despite the never ending interruptions by the so called director / moderator. Newman and Woodward stand apart as the most beloved power couple Hollywood ever saw and they gave back in more ways than one. Now I feel compelled to watch so many of their wonderful films starting with The Three Faces of Eve.
