This documentary takes you through a time warp of the movie industry. It shows a process of passionate filmmakers and studios alike that trusted in their producer's to make great content. That passion didn't always come without a price. This film is funny, thought provoking, inspirational and well made. Everyone in the entertainment industry and anyone with a passion for films and cinema should watch Laddie. It will change the way you view the movie industry as well as the way that you view the people that grow up surrounded by it.

Alan Ladd Jr. was unquestionably the most influential and humble producer and studio executive in Hollywood's history. His decisions brought award-winning movies to the big screen that otherwise would have never existed as we know them. Highly recommended, and a dramatic life story of the man behind the movies.

Just watched the premier of this AMAZING documentary at the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival! Everyone / and everyone making movies or watching movies MUST take the time to see reel gem (when available and possible). It took more than 7 years to complete, and it shows both in content, production, craft, skills, and in the emotion it brings out. Bravo! *****
