Remembering Gene Wilder

Ron Frank’s documentary is a touching, intimate celebration of the life and legacy of the comic genius behind an extraordinary string of film roles, from his collaborations with Mel Brooks in 'The Producer' and 'Young Frankenstein' (above), to the enigmatic title role in the original 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' and his inspired on-screen partnership with Richard Pryor. The film includes hilarious clips and outtakes, never-before-seen home movies, narration from Wilder's audiobook memoir, and interviews with a roster of his brilliant friends and collaborators. Wilder's childhood and evolution on screen reveal his unique mix of innocence and explosive silliness.
