This was a good documentary about Hedy Lamarr. She's never been a favorite of mine. Sometimes her performances were bad, especially in Tortilla Flat. Yet this movie made me respect her a lot more. There's no doubt that she was one of the most beautiful actresses that ever graced the silver screen. Yet that turned out to be a curse. She actually was a smart woman. She came up with a frequency invention that is now used in Wi-Fi. Hedy never got recognition for this or money either. Basically, she was ripped off. I like how the documentary doesn't really focus on her failed love life. That's something that way too many celebrity documentaries do. She comes across as a dedicated mother as well. I plan on watching Samson and Delilah soon.
