LOVE, GILDA is a very affectionate reminder of her brief and brilliant career, a heartfelt love letter whose title might be more accurate without the comma.
Forty years later, her comedy looks more sublime than ever. As you watch LOVE, GILDA, though, it becomes clear that what made Gilda Radner special - and uproarious - was her spirit: open, smiling, generous, euphoric.
'Laughter - that's what hugs me and holds me,' she confides on those muddy cassettes. So does the warm, tender embrace of LOVE, GILDA.
