Remembering Gene Wilder: The endearing comic genius of screen actor Gene Wilder comes to life in this affectionate tribute, chock full of uproarious clips, outtakes, and poignant home movies.

The film is 1 hour and 32 minutes in length and will be followed by a brief talk back program with Shawn Levy, film critic and author including the recent publication In on the Joke: The Original Queens of Stand-Up Comedy. His podcast, Glitter & Might, about the nexus of politics and Hollywood in the life of studio boss and super-agent Lew Wasserman, appeared in 2023.
