A serviceable documentary about illustrator Robert McGinnis, best known for his striking illustrations for the covers of pulp novels and his movie posters, particularly for the James Bond series. McGinnis is interviewed and his career path is explained at some length, but there's really little insight into the mind of a man who draws nude women for men's magazines and Norman Rockwellish inspirational drawings for Guidepost Magazine at the same time.
