From UTA to Hollywood: Douglas Sirk Remembers (1991)

Documentary consists mostly of a 1980 German language interview with famed director Douglas Sirk. The interview itself feels rather narrow and incomplete, not recounting his whole film career, or even sizable portions there off, instead its largely about a Swedish actress he brought to the UTA study in Germany in the mid 30's, and two films he made in America in the late 50's, Written on the Wind, and The Tarnished Angles. In fact my favorite part of the film was several minutes tacked on at the end of street footage shoot out of a car driving around L.A. circa 1979 (the three film markees I saw were all for movies released in 1979, not counting the porn film, the famous Deep Throat from roughly 1972). This footage was not complied together in this form and released until the early 90's. 2 out of 5.
