 Excellent mini-documentary May 5, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Charlie is incorrect. The 30-minute version is the complete version. Some exhibitions have shown a 15-minute version, but there is no such thing as a 60-minute version.
This production is an excellent, fun overview of Hopper's work, not overly esoteric, and with touches of Steve Martin's trademark humor. (Martin is a Hopper collector.) Of particular interest to fans of Martin and Hopper is a brief section dealing with Martin's homage to Hopper in Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
If you want great detail, this may not be exactly what you're looking for. If you want an introduction or overview, this should work. The high-interest, visually appealing nature of this makes it particularly suitable for use in schools.
 There is reportedly a 60 minute version October 21, 2007

I saw the 30 minute version in the cinema at the National Gallery (for free) in conjunction with the excellent exhibition there, and a sign there said that a 60 minute version was occasionally shown (not at the time I was there, however). I can't understand why, if this item description is correct, they would release the shorter version on DVD when a longer version is available. I would wait for the 60 minute version to be released on DVD. By all means, do try to see the exhibition as well!
