Ten year old documentary on Don Rickles, detailing his rise to stardom and subsequent long run in the public eye. Interviews just about everybody who worked with him, from Joan Rivers to Bob Newhart to Debbie Reynolds. Interviews dozens of comics who cite him as an inspiration: Billy Crystal, Sarah Silverman, Chris Rock. Interviews dozens of his show biz friends. Interviews his wife and Don himself. It's a loving portrait, very well done, very thorough.
I never was a big fan of insult humor, but this is a fitting tribute.
