This independent documentary of the incredibly beautiful 1940's film star Hedy Lamarr is a real eye-opener. Not only did she escape her Nazi arms dealer husband and rise to the top in Hollywood at MGM, she was also a brainiac inventor who designed the technology behind Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellphones and much modern military tracking technology. Although she was not recognized for her accomplishments until the end of her life, and never financially compensated, essentially having had her patented technology stolen from her, she is now remembered for her brains and her beauty. Many still photos, film clips and interviews including those from her children and grandchildren. Not in wide distribution, so if you can't see it in a theatre, look for it later on another platform online or DVD. It's worth it.

I'd go see it if it played here. Will keep an eye out for it streaming.

I confess that was the very first thing I thought too.

Everyone needs to experience "Blazing Saddles" at least once uncut.
