A Wedding (1978)

A Wedding displays lesser quality Robert Altman as the camera meanders through the titular ceremony and dinner while contrived and uninteresting situations happen to all involved - typical Altman minus the contrived and uninteresting. It's not as absorbing as Nashville or as funny as M.A.S.H. but the large and evolving cast did catch my eye with Carol Burnett, Vittorio Gassman, Geraldine Chaplin, Dina Merrill, Lillian Gish (luminescent even as a corpse), Pat McCormick and Mia Farrow standing out. But if you're not a real fan of bland familial scenes and happenstance, best be moving along.

Moon Over Broadway (1997)

Moon Over Broadway is a fascinating look inside the creation and production of the Broadway comedy, Moon Over Buffalo. Carol Burnett is not portrayed in the best light and neither are director Tom Moore nor playwright Ken Ludwig - all three showing a lack of ability in their respective jobs. It's Chris Hegedus and D.A. Pennebaker's willingness to let actions speak that make this film a must see for theater, documentary and Burnett enthusiasts.
