I'm surprised there isn't one on De Sica...
P.S. - If you can speak multiple languages, there are MANY videos on YouTube (interviews, etc) that allow for someone who submit subtitles.

I know De Palma had an acclaimed one from a year or so ago.

There was a Canadian documentary on Cronenberg from the mid 80s.
It had "flesh" in the title.
Stephen King and Martin Scorsese were interviewed.

Not sure about any documentaries but any interviews with William Friedkin are always worth a watch.
He is both the most boring man in terms of his tastes and the most interesting man in terms of his personality. This one gives you an idea of how he is, if you aren't familiar:

I just saw an episode with him on Cavett, and noticed years ago that although I'm not a fan of his, he IS an interesting guy. I should probably watch some more.

Vittorio D - 10/10 I just saw a perfect example of how a documentary should be... And it's a documentary on my very favorite director - Vittorio De Sica. I was watching this with pride as if I were his son. I've searched for one in the past, but somehow I ran into this while browsing Amazon Prime, which I know many have, and should check out. I never heard De Sica speaking English, so there are limitations on knowing everything you can about the man, but his movies speak on his poetic yet realistic humanity.... I liked how it divided into segment... You had "The Director", "The Actor", "The Man", "The Gambler", "The Father", etc. You don't see any young "flavor of the month" directors or actors, not because they don't know him, but because whoever produced it made sure he got the best of the best.. Featured in this documentary -Clint Eastwood -Woody Allen -Sophia Loren -Federic Fellini -Ken Loach -Mike Leigh -Shirley MacLaine -Ettore Scola (great Italian director) -Mario Monicello -Paul Mazursky (who told De Sica that he was stealing "Umberto D" to make (my favorite movie), "Harry and Tonto" -Dino DeLaurentis (great producer) and many others, including his friends.  |

Has anyone done a documentary on the most underrated director in Hollywood history: Michael Curtiz, who gave us more great movies than almost anyone else.
Between 1912 and 1961, he directed 178 films.
Doctor X
20,000 Years in Sing Sing
Mystery of the Wax Museum
Black Fury
Captain Blood
Anthony Adverse
The Charge of the Light Brigade
Black Legion
The Adventures of Robin Hood
Four Daughters
Angels With Dirty Faces
Dodge City
The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex
The Sea Hawk
The Sea Wolf
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Casablanca
Mildred Pierce
Life With Father
He crossed every genre and worked with every great star in Hollywood, including Elvis Presley
and, according to all the stories told about him, never spoke a single word that anyone could understand.
My favorite Curtiz story is the day he demanded, "Get me a poodle." The next morning someone showed up with a dog and Curtiz went ballistic. He wanted a puddle of water. I don't know if it is true, but it should be.
TCM did a short bio as one of their extras, but he really needs an in depth documentary.
