American Masters: Marvin Hamlisch: The Way He Was

Composer, conductor, genius, mensch, Marvin Hamlisch was as close to a modern day DaVinci as it gets. Hit after hit...."The Way We Were", "Nobody Does It Better", "The Sting", "A Chorus Line", Marvin was irrepressible and prolific. Winner of four Grammys, an Emmy, three Oscars, and a Tony, all by the time he was 31-years-old, Marvin's streak was staggering, vast, unprecedented, and glorious. Interviews with a cavalcade of Marvin's colleagues, schoolmates, and renown collaborators help to tell a deeply personal, candid, insider study of one of the great artists of our time.

Special Features include…
Over One-Hour of Bonus Footage
Exclusive Ed Kleban & Marvin Hamlisch Section with never-before-heard 'making of' recordings from"A Chorus Line"

A most amazing and delightful man.
Review by Jo review stating A most amazing and delightful man.
This DVD is so inspiring, entertaining, and delightful. We enjoyed it thoroughly, I bought 3 more to give as gifts to music lover friends. and friends that are highly motivated as Marvin H. was. They want to show it to their children to show them what a person can do with their life. I also lent it to a couple of people and they loved it as much as I did. Thank you for producing it. Jo

Marvin Hammlish: He did do it for love!
Review by Olysarah review stating Marvin Hammlish: He did do it for love!
What an amazing talent the world was blessed with. This DVD gives a more personal portrait of Marvin with interview with people with whom he was extraordinarily generous. His time and money were shared with the world and he loved every minute! The last time I saw a DVD that he performed in was Idina Menzel Barefoot. He was amazing!! He did not look ill, and I have not heard why he died. All I know is my life was made SO much richer by seeing and hearing all the magic his talent produced. I never knew him, but hate that hes not on the planet anymore!! I cried during part of it, but in the end his was a life to celebrate and smile!!!
