Although the information contained in this little biographical feature is quite interesting, and the photographs are great, some stuff I've never seen before, I found this short to be almost impossible to watch.
For some unfathomable reason, director Joseph R. Juliano seems to think that the way to keep the interest of the audience in a 1962 theater is to smear a loud, raucous sound track over the narration, almost completely drowning it out.
This is during the *entire* movie, mind you. Not just the opening credits, or some bridge music between sentences. The music does not stop during the entire four minutes of run time. I understood maybe a third of what was said about Myrna.
