Steve McQueen: Man on the Edge (1990)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Norman Jewison, Karl Malden, Chuck Norris, Hilly Elkins, Robert Wise, Shelley Winters and McQueen's first wife Neile Adams are all interviewed in this documentary on the actor who many considered to be one of the coolest to ever grace the screen.
This documentary features some pretty good interviews, which are going to be the main reason to watch it. Since this film was released there have been several other McQueen documentaries that go into much more detail but what this one offers up are some terrific interviews with some people who are no longer with us. The documentary does a very good job at explaining where McQueen came from and how he ended up in the movies. We get to hear great stories about the making of films like THE GREAT ESCAPE, THE THOMAS CROWNE AFFAIR and BULLITT. Fans of McQueen will enjoy hearing the stories about them and this film is certainly entertaining.
