An American documentary; A story about a couple who had an enormous influence over the informational and visual aspects of dozens of the world's most famous motion pictures. Largely uncredited in these movies, Harold and Lillian had an expertise that throws new light on the actual roles of a film director and head of production design. While these two important roles take the rap if a film goes wrong, when it goes right the film researcher and storyboarding play an important role in the success of the overall production.
As for the documentary itself, it succeeds as a personal story about a couple falling love - the two being quite different, and their personal and family challenges. It also works as a fresh perspective on Hollywood. Moreover, it is a well crafted film with great insights and humour and a beautiful story arc.
