Though their names are in the title, the real stars of “Breslin and Hamill: Deadline Artists” are the words they wrote. Several times, I was moved by the descriptions chosen by the filmmakers.
Although Deadline Artist profiles both of them, the late Breslin (who died in 2017 at the age of 87) is the swaggering star of this time capsule. ... By the year 2015, both men looked frail and spent while seated next to one another for the purposes of this evocative film. Breslin remained pretty grouchy while the cheerier Hamill arrived in a wheelchair. It’s still something to see.
[A] long, lovingly made documentary.
Breslin and Hamill: Deadline Artists comes with a heavenly supply of gossip, a treasury of revered observations on life--mainly wisecracks--and a delectably detailed view of the larger world of print journalism in which its subjects thrived.
