Definitive Take on Robbins
This excellent PBS documentary on director-choreographer Jerome Robbins offers as complete and thorough an
examination of this complex individual as you're likely to find outside of one of the several biographies of him.
Of particular interest are the numerous rare film clips of his early work as well as interviews with him and
those who knew and worked with him. Highly recommended for anyone interested in theater or dance.

Lost Laurents Plays
This is an interesting collection of mostly lesser-known, later plays by the author of
the librettos for GYPSY and WEST SIDE STORY and such films as THE TURNING
POINT and THE WAY WE WERE. A controversial figure in American theater,
Laurents was a passionate believer in the rights of the individual, especially after
his experiences with the Blacklist.
