Nice Look at MacLaine's Career

Shirley MacLaine: Kicking Up Her Heels (1996)

*** 1/2 (out of 4)

Jack Lemmon, Anthony Hopkins, Nicolas Cage, John Forsythe, A.C. Lyles, Robert Wise and Herbert Ross are just a few of the people interviewed in this documentary that takes a look at the career of Shirley MacLaine. The documentary also features the actress herself who takes us on a tour of her early life growing up in a small city where she fell in love with the movies. She talks about how she got into acting and then discusses some of her biggest roles, which included working with Martin & Lewis as well as the Rat Pack.

If you're a fan of MacLaine then you'll certainly enjoy hearing her talk about her career and the various roles she has played over the year. The documentary does a very good job at showing the various ups and downs in her career and the added interviews with those who worked with her are just wonderful. This is especially true with Jack Lemmon discussing working on THE APARTMENT.
