Picked up the DVD without knowing anything about Elaine Stritch.
More than pleasantly pleased.
Her candor is laudable.
One views her life through a cabaret act, full of song and dance routines... Despite which, one looks into an absolutely "naked" soul.
Interesting to watch this 80 year old woman, whose life has been so difficult, be so alive and dynamic. When most of her compatriots are dead she is continuing to grow and learn and give to us.
For the first half hour or so it was mostly "cute", tolerable but just "cute". The rest of the film grabbed my mind and heart.
Well done. I recommend it highly.
