'The Last Movie Stars' starts off as an all-star valentine to a classic Hollywood couple. It ends up being something closer to 'Scenes From a Celebrity Marriage.' Our review ⬇️
In 1958, after his divorce was finalized, they married. This new husband and wife would raise six kids , win countless awards, campaign for Civil Rights and presidential candidates, launch a food line, give millions of interviews and give away millions of dollars. She liked to knit. He liked to race cars and happened to be one of the most famous people alive. They made 16 films together.
is, above all else, a love story about two people who represent the twin gold standards of their profession — what directorrefers to as “first-ballot hall-of-famers who also happen to be married [to each other].
It’s that tightrope-strut between burnishing the Dream Factory mythology behind the Newman/Woodward duo — it’s calledand makes a strong case for the title; trust us, you’ll want to binge on both of their filmographies before this docuseries is done — and peeling it back that makes this such a great watch for non-film nerds as well. That, and the ingenious work-around that its creator has constructed to make this story come alive.
So yes, you do get a sort of once-in-a-lifetime, all-star recounting of the Saga of Newman and Woodward, from their illicit supernova beginnings to their autumn years as doting grandparents, right up to Newman passing away from cancer in 2008. You get an impeccable film history lesson, centered around two of the brightest talents to come out of American movies. You get a genuine sense of who these two people were, to each other and to their family , to their industry and to the world.
