A documentary of the life of artist Al Hirschfeld. While there might still be debate as to whether caricatures are art, anyone who has seen Hirschfeld's elegant depictions of stage personalities over the years would unequivocably classify them as such. This movie, which took nearly ten years to make, follows the chronology of Hirschfeld's life closely. It includes many interviews with Hirschfeld himself, his second wife and his beloved daughter Nina. His drawings had appeared in The New York Times since the 1920s, and they covered the entire modern history of theater in New York City, a fact underscored in this documentary. American actors have long known that one sign of their having "made it" as stage actors, was a published caricature by this charming man. 译文(2): 一部关于艺术家阿尔 · 赫希菲尔德生活的纪录片。虽然关于漫画是否是艺术仍然存在争议，但任何看过赫希菲尔德多年来对舞台人物的优雅描绘的人，都会毫不含糊地将其归类为艺术。这部花了近十年时间拍摄的电影紧紧跟随着赫希菲尔德的生活年表。其中包括对赫希菲尔德本人、他的第二任妻子和他深爱的女儿尼娜的多次采访。他的画作自20世纪20年代以来就出现在《纽约时报》上，它们涵盖了整个纽约市的现代戏剧史，这部纪录片强调了这一事实。美国演员早就知道，他们作为舞台演员“成功”的标志之一，就是这个迷人的男人出版的漫画。
