Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story

Globally acknowledged as one of the most beautiful actresses to have plied her craft in Hollywood’s golden era--and less widely recognized as a genius-level electrical engineer whose theories underlie much of today’s wireless communication--the remarkable life of Austrian émigré Hedwig Kleiser, b/k/a Hedy Lamarr, receives deserved examination in this documentary effort, from the scandals of her early European film career to the contentions and controversies of her later years. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
