Douglas Fairbanks: The Great Swashbuckler - 2005 - 7/10

90 minute biography from the Douglas Fairbanks Museum.
Tidy overview of his life, Broadway career, Hollywood comedian, then action icon.
Numerous clips from many films, quality varies depending on restoration.
Hosts do a good job encapsulating the man, painful personal history, achievements.
If nothing else, for founding United Artists with Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin and D W Griffith.
One must overlook the somewhat amateurish quality of this.
Miking is not always the best, set choices are odd, and it feels like the budget was modest.
If you can forgive limitations, you should enjoy this labor of love documentary.
