Résumés(1)

The myth of Sterling Hayden fascinates many today. Even by Hollywood's standards Hayden was more than just another difficult star. His swashbuckling macho arrogance, self-destructive, guilt-ridden psyche and charming, self deprecating sense of humour contribute to a larger than life story - one befitting the 6'5" sailor turned actor billed by the studios in 1940 as "the most beautiful man in the movies". This feature length documentary shot on Hayden's barge somewhere along the rivers of Holland in 1982 recounts the extraordinary events of his life with a no holds barred candour from his early sailing experiences, adventures with Yugoslav partisans during World War 2, Communist sympathies and his subsequent confession to the House of Un-American Activities Committee and his lifelong struggle with alcoholism.
