Doc. Marvin Hamlisch, What I did for Love, I LOVED This!
This sensational doc. film about one singular man, is a loving tribute to Marvin Hamlisch. With everything he did - he did with love. According to Marvin's mother, she knew her son was a musical prodigy at 8 months; "he rocked in his crib in time with the music." He was accepted into Julliard at the age of 6. Julliard schooled Marvin with a classical discipline in music that allowed for infinite possibilities in his compositions. He juxtaposed his musical training into a legacy of music which speaks to the heart. Marvin maintained "all music is good and there is music in everything." The doc. scores a winning list of musical legends who pay tribute to his musical genius, integrity and his generosity when collaborating. Marvin believed "It is not the result which is most important it is the process." His creativity went straight from his head through his fingers to communicate great beauty, hope & joy that reaches across every line. This doc. film is overflowing with the spirit of an exceptionally talented man with a great exuberance for life . He was truly "the People's Composer." "So it is the laughter we will remember," for the way you were.
