Movie Haiku:We all know filmmaking is a collective art form, but usually we forget. This excellent doc explores the unsung role of Casting Director, zeroing in on the career of Dougherty, a NY-based CD who helped change the face of Hollywood films in the 1960s, coaching stage actors like Glenn Close, Al Pacino, Jon Voight etc etc thru their first cinematic steps. Not yet seen by Rich.
