Before this mnorning I'd never seen Michael Epstein's 86-minute Hitchcock, Selznick and the End of Hollywood (11.1.99). I love Gene Hackman's narration! Epstein obviously reveres Hitchcock and thinks less of Selznick. Basically a story of creative conflict, Hitchcock vs. Selznick, the power of producers vs. directors and the end of Hollywood...how the power of the producer decreased. I immediately felt enveloped.
