Orry-Kelly has been an idol of mine for about the past 40 years. I fell in love with this era of films very early because there was no such thing as cable and you had 4 channels. Until Ted Turner created WTBS and we got that free. That was where I met all these wonderful films and actors for the first time and I was hooked.
After a while I started noticing I liked certain costumes far better than others, especially glamorous evening gowns, so I started reading the credits and that's how I met Orry-Kelly.
His gowns were never fussy, never out of porportion, funny fabric messes. They were as sleek as the fabrics he used and the cut was always sharp as a tack. Feminine but not frothy. Not an inch of fabric was wasted.
Despite my obvious bias, this was a very well make, organized documentary. It stayed on point and guides you through his evaluations. The glue which holds it together is, of course, the boat. That was an ingenious way of combining archival footage and interviews with his narrative.
The actors were great! Cary Grant was a ginormous a. H. to Sorry. After Sorry have him not only style but love. I cried.
Wonderful movie. I'm so happy I've had him in my life all these years.
