Description:
By the age of seventeen, Mary Pickford had become the first actress to achieve international superstardom. By the time she was thirty, she was the first and only woman ever to own a major movie studio, the only woman to be the highest-paid actor in Hollywood and the first actress to have complete control in making her films. With comedic talents equal to Keaton, Lloyd or Chaplin, the tragic range of Gish and Swanson and business acumen to rival any Hollywood mogul, Mary Pickford was the consummate movie star of the 20th Century. "Mary Pickford: A Life on Film" is the definitive documentary on the most powerful woman in the history of cinema. Hosted and narrated by Whoopi Goldberg.

Pickford is a fascinating woman. I could explore all of her many gifts, but recommend you watch this film for that. I am writing because I watched this and another recent documentary concerning Mary Pickford within a one-week period. Both documentaries were fascinating, but, in the end, I found this particular film to be much more compassionate toward the aging Mary Pickford. Had I based my opinion of Mary Pickford on the other documentary, and not seen this film, I would have perceived Mary Pickford ... Read More

This is an excellent biographical documentary on Mary Pickford (Gladys Smith.) Much more than just a biography of one of the most powerful women in the film industry or in the world for that matter, this presentation depicts the interworking of the film industry of the time.
We see previously unreleased film portions from Mary's personal archive. We also get to watch the highlights of many marvelous films without sitting through the complete viewing. Who would have suspected "The Taming of the ... Read More

Okay, first of all, I'd like to say I am a Mary Pickford fan and yes, Charles "Buddy" Roger's too. (Love, love, love "My Best Girl, 1927)
So, I've seen most of the documentaries on Mary (they don't seem to have any on Buddy). Then, lo and behold, this one has both of them. It also has footage I haven't seen anywhere. Nice :)

If you have never seen Pickford in action, this is the biography to watch for it is chock full of short footage of the incomparable Mary doing her screen antics. Displaying scenes from her rare unseen silents & talkies, "A Life on Film" made me want to go out searching for Pickford reels to spin for myself. I especially love the scenes of Mary from "Cinderella," "Rosita" (A rare Lubitsch classic) and "Hoodlum!" not to mention "Secrets" which is a Pickford's last talkie. Another thing I love is the home ... Read More

I was really excited to see this after I bought it because I am a huge Mary Pickford fan and because many of her movies only partially survive. I had a seen a preview on another Milestone release and was happy to hear that Buddy Rogers and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. were commenting on her.
The story was told and not a whole lot of new information was given that could not be found in books, but clips from rare movies were shown like Kiki and Secrets. However, some information seems to contradict some ... Read More
