Jimmy Stewart Documentary
August 6th, 2008
Jimmy Stewart appeared in a truly impressive assemblage of movies. Between blockbusters, documentaries and TV spots, he was one of the most in-demand and loved actors of his time, and there weren’t many movies that didn’t feature his face at least once.
Since we’ve already covered his listing of fictional movies, it’s time to take a look at Stewart’s appearances in documentaries. A good chunk of them were done during the war years, when Stewart was busy fighting for his country in the Second World War, though quite a few others are on other topics.
