George Stevens: A Filmmaker's Journey (1984) is a deeply personal and insightful biography of the renowned director George Stevens, crafted by his son. The documentary features a rich collection of clips from Stevens' extensive filmography, accompanied by insightful commentary from notable actors and esteemed directors such as Frank Capra, John Huston, and Alan J. Pakula, among others. The film also unveils Stevens' war "home movies," which were discovered posthumously. Commissioned by Eisenhower to document the war in Europe, Stevens seized the opportunity to capture the only color footage of World War II. The documentary includes stunning footage of D-Day and its aftermath, the triumphant march of Allied liberators through Paris, and the harrowing horrors of Dachau. This visual documentation is akin to what Goya might have created with a movie camera. Additionally, the film delves into a more mundane yet significant episode: Cecil B. DeMille's 1950 attempt to remove Joseph L. Mankiewicz from the presidency of the Directors' Guild, an effort that Stevens played a crucial role in thwarting.
