It's....well, to be completely honest, it's a very interesting subject that was wasted in the hands of the documentarian. I was enthusiastically eager to watch this but it left me feeling taken for granted. It was as if the documentarians expected the topic itslef to carry the load and they didn't need to work very hard. It struck me as afamily home movie for the Laemmle's rather than a thought provoking investigation of the struggles faced by the cinema chain. Shame. I won't tell you to skip it but I can't recommend it to you either.
