Avrich's Wasserman is less a man than a list of accomplishments, a Kane without a hint of a Rosebud and nary a whiff of significant criticism.
Village Voice
Rating: 3/4 --
The jazzy credit sequence uses Wasserman's trademark big black eyeglasses as a playful motif, but the film itself is all business
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rating: 3.5/5 --
It's a pretty old school doc -- no dramatizations or ambushes -- as befits a eulogy for old school Hollywood.
Jam! Movies
Rating: 3/5 --
Lew Wasserman, who rose from the streets of Cleveland to become the most powerful man in Hollywood, is the subject of this absorbing documentary.
New York Times
Rating: 5/5 --
Does an impeccable job in documenting both the dark and light side of one of the most successful, yet secretive, celebrities North America has ever known.

In covering so much acreage, Avrich has failed to dig deep for material that might have shed more light on Wasserman's ways.

Product Description:
Barry Avrich's piercing documentary looks into the life of the man largely responsible for shaping Hollywood into its present incarnation, Lew Wasserman. Powerful, feared, and ruthless in his business affairs, Wasserman turned MCA into the first entertainment conglomerate, and had dealings with everyone from union leaders to President Jimmy Carter. A portrait emerges of a man almost immune to failure--one whose extensive power harbored a dark side. The picture includes interviews with Dominick Dunne, Larry King, Michael Ovitz, Suzanne Pleshette, and Robert Evans.
