A fascinating account of the partnership between storyboard artist Harold Michelson and film researcher Lillian Michelson, Harold and Lillian: A Hollywood Love Story follows the couple who worked on hundreds of renowned films, including The Apartment, The Birds, The Graduate, Rosemary’s Baby, and The Ten Commandments.

Although the Michelsons were responsible for some of Hollywood’s most iconic examples of visual storytelling, their contributions remain largely uncredited. Lillian tells their story through a skillful mix of film clips, anecdotes from many famous admirers, love letters, and illustrations to bring their unparalleled industry experiences to life. Director Daniel Raim chronicles their remarkable marriage and extraordinary careers through six decades of movie-making history.

About the Film

“Truly charming . . . A terrifically moving human story!” —Vanity Fair

“A fascinating and heart-warming film.” —Geist

“Daniel Raim's outstanding documentary quickly becomes one of the best I have seen in years... Not only a great window into the past of cinema looking ahead, but such a touching and beautiful story on the love of cinema and the love that cinema can have on two amazing people. Tears of joy at the end of this film, and highly recommended even if you have the slightest interest in just how important things behind the scenes can be.” —eFilmCritic.com
