“Love, Gilda” is a documentary directed by Amy Dapolito which gives the
audience a rare and introspective view of the life of the late Gilda Radner.
Utilizing audio tapes, taped interviews, letters, home movies and her own diary,the film tells Ms. Radner’s story via the voices of Amy Poehler, Melissa McCarthy, Lorraine Newman and other friends and acquaintances of the of the late comedienne. From an endearing and overweight child to a talented and fun-loving performer, we learn of her ups and down throughout a life that ended much too soon. I give the documentary 2 and ½ stars and suggest that the film be seen by those who care about and/or are interested in this interesting and courageous lady.
