The True Adventures of Raoul Walsh plot
Documentary about legendary director Raoul Walsh. In this "memoir," Walsh "tells" his career from the silent era to the tumultuous 1960s. Using rare, personal, and production photos and footage, the documentary reveals Walsh's extraordinary, adventurous life on and off the set. From his apprenticeship with DW Griffith to his discovery of John Wayne and Rock Hudson, from the innovative "The Thief of Bagdad" (1924) to the widescreen "The Big Trail" (1930), from his classic work with Cagney, Bogart, and Flynn to his mastery of every genre (musicals, comedies, westerns, gangsters, war), Walsh wrote Hollywood history. His life is nothing less than the story of Hollywood itself. Here is a complete account of one of Hollywood's greatest legends.
