Hollywoods Traumtänzerin â Ginger Rogers Porträt, GB 2018
Zum 110. Geburtstag von Ginger Rogers erinnert die Dokumentation an die Oscar-Preisträgerin, Schauspielerin, Tänzerin und Sängerin, die das goldene Zeitalter des Hollywood-Films mitprägte.

To me, it’s more of how they grab my attention when they act. In other words, when I see their name on the marquis do I immediately want to watch the movie just because of the top-billed actress.

How Robert Rich s 1957 story win for the film (despite the fact that he didn t write a word) kicked off one of Hollywood s most intriguing credit battles and why it remains unsolved.
On May 15, 1975, Dalton Trumbo was vindicated. One of Hollywood s top screenwriters a committed leftist whose career had cratered under the blacklist before his back-channel maneuvering helped defeat it lay in ill health at his West Hollywood home when there was a knock on his door. It was the producer Walter Mirisch, then the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Oscar in hand.
