Our take
See a side you’ve never seen of actor Sterling Hayden, best known for Asphalt Jungle and his work with Stanley Kubrick. In extended conversations, a bearded, boozing Hayden spins captivating yarns of his extraordinary life: sailing, war, Hollywood, and naming names. A revelatory documentary.
