Review of Wait for Your Laugh (2017) by Jason Zinoman for The New York Times — 02 Nov 2017
Jason Wise’s documentary, which relies on re-enactments and backstage footage with sparing use of performances, is a love letter to the performer but not the business, in which she managed to achieve a measure of fame for nine decades, while still being overlooked.
Her single-minded focus on work is presented as admirable but also something of a curse.
