If you are curious about Lillian Gish this is an excellent place to start. With interviews from Lillian Gish in the late 80's and clips from many films from The Unseen Enemy to the Whales of August, the film shows ample evidence of Miss Gish being one of the greatest actresses who ever shone on a screen. Clips from hard to find films like 'The Wind' and 'The Scarlet Letter' only make one desperately want to see these films soon. If there was ever an actress who sought for truth in her work it is Lillian Gish. The only real drawback is the slightly under an hour running time and the niggling question of where the outtakes of her interview went. It would have been great just to see all of her reflections in a stand alone form. After seeing this you can look for her films on DVD and hunt down a few of the books by and about her. Lillian Gish: Passion and Truth.
