Documentary on the very fruitful but sometimes combative half century collaboration between the political biographer Robert Caro and his editor Robert Gottlieb. Both giants in their field this balanced joint biography is illuminaring and surprisingly gripping. You come to really like both men as well as understand what it is about each man that bothers the other. This is kind of a nitch film but the personalities of the two have charms and eccentricities that transcend the literary and political worlds they inhabited. This was a real treat, much big grinning throughout. Directed by Gottlieb's daughter Lizzie. ****
