Synopsis

“The True Adventures of Raoul Walsh” is a “memoir” in which the director “recounts” his Hollywood career, encompassing more than 150 films in almost every genre, from the silent film era to the tumultuous 1960s. Based on texts from Marilyn Ann Moss’s biography of Walsh, and using rare, personal and production photos and footage, the film allows Walsh to talk about his life and extraordinary adventures. This is the story of one man’s love of films and filmmaking … and the women he loved in his life.
