Plots(1)

When Henry King traveled to London in 1977 to open a retrospective dedicated to his 20th Century-Fox films at the National Film Theatre, the BBC seized the opportunity to film the ninety-year-old master in what seems to be a single-take interview. Film clips aside, King of the Movies relies almost entirely on the brilliance of King’s storytelling, which entertains, illuminates, and charms. (Morelia International Film Festival)
