A Father... A Son... Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2005)
Joseph Feury Productions

Description

An extraordinary glimpse into the private side of a Hollywood dynasty, the film includes exclusive recent conversations with Kirk Douglas (who speaks candidly about the challenges he's faced since suffering a stroke in 1996) and Michael Douglas, as well as other family members and friends, drawing upon dozens of film clips to illustrate how the public and private lives of each actor often intersected.

Collected reviews and ratings

8.0 DVD Verdict | Ryan Keefer

Even as just a peripheral fan of Kirk and Michael, I was kept interested by the film, and have a deeper appreciation of both men, both as actors and as family members, and recommend this to anyone that's similarly interested.

6.7 digitallyobsessed.com | Nate Meyers

A superficial look at Michael and Kirk Douglas.

6.0 DVD Talk | Preston Jones

While it's enjoyable that both Douglas men sat for relatively candid interviews, Lee Grant's documentary A Father ... A Son ... Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is fluffy and inconsequential, missing some opportunities to delve into some scandal. Fans of the Douglas clan will delight in the film, but everyone else would do well with a rental.
