A Few Words About A few words about...™ Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blache - DVD (1 Viewer)

[Angelo Colombus]

Saw the documentary thanks to my local library. I liked it a lot with a nice blend of interviews, photos, and her films. I hope more folks will know about her place in film history. There is a book Fort Lee: The Film Town and a dvd The Champion both by Richard Koszarski which talks about Fort Lee NJ and the early film studios and Alice Guy Blache did have her studio there.

I also saw this doc. on DVD (from my library) and thought it was excellent. Like many others, I had honestly never heard of Alice Guy-Blache before - despite being a huge film fan for many years. The doc. was fascinating, and made it extremely obvious that without AGB's work & influence, the film industry would not be what it is today. I was especially impressed by the quality of many of her short films.

This doc. is highly recommended to any film fan out there. IMHO you definitely owe it to yourself to see this.

I wanted to bump this older thread because Be Natural will be airing on TCM tonight (Tuesday) and will be followed by a selection of Alice Guy-Blanche's surviving short films. If anyone hasn't seen the movie yet, it's absolutely worth watching.
