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."

[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".

Featured review
"George Stevens: A Filmmaker's Journey" is a testimonial of Steven's son to his father. Stevens was a most talented director, whose work spanned many years and whose films embraced many genres. He was a fine comedy director and also directed musicals with class. His action films were spirited and his romantic dramas moving. Many critics have tended to first overrate, then upon re-evaluation underrate Steven's work. My feeling is that Stevens chalked up a remarkable record of high quality films throughout his career, and this bio provides a wide range of his work, through film clips, interviews by actors, producers and directors, and through a loving narration by George Stevens, Jr. This is a must for Stevens fans and an enjoyable film for others.
