Terrific documentaries are a dime a dozen; ones this multifaceted are to be cherished.
Filmmaker Lloyd Handwerker treats the project as genealogy rather than corporate image-making. And with home movies and private interviews at his disposal, no one is better equipped to tell this story.
The movie is choppy and rushed — a bumper-car ride that somehow fits the rough-and-tumble era it recalls.
Some segments are too long, but Famous Nathan contains a unique flavor that history-loving New Yorkers should relish.
