Whilst Dewey’s style of dissecting all of Stewart’s films as he meanders through the actors personal life will definitely not be to everyone’s taste I really enjoyed the journey. Especially all the comments and interviews with colleagues, friends or those who knew him in the business attesting to just how great of an actor Stewart was, and what a genuinely nice man too. As Henry Fonda said, Stewart is “maybe the single most underrated actor we’ve ever had”, and this exploration of over 75 roles he played through his long career certainly shows the love he had for his craft and his job. Loved it.
