Not as interesting as his posters

I was very excited to watch this documentary to actually get into the mind of the man/people who designed some of the most iconic posters of the 20th century. I have to agree with the reviewer who said it's a bit slow and on the dull side.

How did his company grow and where did he find his people? How did his family grow and where are his children and possible grandchildren now? Are they in the business?

SO many questions that went unasked and therefore, unanswered.

I did appreciated when he gave insight into the posters that he did do and why. If only there had been a bit more of that.

However, it is still a documentary worth the watch. You'll learn a lot you didn't know!
