The bald king who seduced Hollywood—and invented his entire backstory.
The incredible story of the mythical Russian-American actor and filmmaker Yul Brynner (1920-85), the most exotic sex-symbol since Rudolph Valentino; the story of the atypical destiny of an international nomad: from the Parisian cabarets to the stages of Broadway and the Hollywood studios. The rise to fame of a multidisciplinary genius who became a king of the screen.
Production
Stunning archive footage of Brynner's actual mid-century fabulosity.
Editing
Snappy montage of his multiple fake origin stories—deliciously shady.
