Casting By plot
About the world and backgrounds of casting for Hollywood films. Surprising, and with mostly unknown stories about the role of the casting director, who made choices with a sharp eye, exquisite taste and instinct, and thus redefined Hollywood. The documentary covers roughly the last fifty years, featuring pioneers such as Marion Dougherty and Lynn Stalmaster, who broke down an old system and ushered in the new Hollywood. They finally broke with the traditional form of typecasting and brought the actors like James Dean, Dustin Hoffman, Bette Midler, Robert Duvall, and Gene Hackman to the big screen.
