Effortlessly weaves a biography of the famous New York artist with a history of Broadway plays. Hirschfeld's artistic development from sculptor to caricaturist leads to his publication in local newspapers, which he manages to make a career. Interviews with his famous subjects provides insights to the man, who narrates the film. Enjoyable, if not particularly essential, viewing.
