| HBO presents a fascinating portrait of two charismatic Oscar*-winners who share, along with a last name, a passion for movies, women, family, and taking risks. An extraordinary glimpse into the private side of a Hollywood dynasty, the film includes exclusive recent conversations with Kirk Douglas (who speaks candidly about the challenges he's faced since suffering a stroke in 1996) and Michael Douglas, as well as other family members and friends, drawing upon dozens of film clips to illustrate how the public and private lives of each actor often intersected. The documentary was directed by Academy Award*-winning actress and documentarian Lee Grant, whose close friendship with Michael Douglas allowed her unfettered access to the two legends. |
