Detailed rundown of the consummate comedian's life and work, with its angle his borderline obsessive-compulsive collecting habits. This not only allows us a peek into his off-screen personality, but his meticulously organised film & video collections provide footage from his professional and personal life that would never be seen otherwise. The only negative is that his career was so expansive that even this comprehensive 90-minute doc still can't really do it justice.
