Wilder plot

From Willy Wonka to Frederick Frankenstein: actor Gene Wilder (1933–2016) captivated generations of moviegoers with his iconic roles. However, behind his great comedic talent also lies a vulnerable and searching artist. Drawing on the personal memories of his cousin and kindred spirit Jordan Walker-Pearlman, with whom he shared a close bond, candid interviews, film clips, and never-before-seen archival material, this documentary paints an intimate portrait of the actor who concealed a remarkable life story behind his smile.
