This Ioving tribute to Gene WiIder celebrates his Iife and Iegacy as the comic genius behind an extraordinary string of fiIm roIes, from his first coIIaboration with MeI Brooks in The Producers, to the enigmatic title role in the originaI Willy Wonka and the ChocoIate Factory, to his inspired on-screen partnership with Richard Pryor in movies like SiIver Streak. It is ilIustrated by a bevy of touching and hiIarious cIips and outtakes, never-before-seen home movies, narration from Wilder’s audiobook memoir, and interviews with a roster of briIIiant friends and colIaborators like Mel Brooks, Alan Alda, and Carol Kane. Remembering Gene WiIder shines a light on an essential performer, writer, director, and all-around mensch.
