Trying to level the playing field for women in Hollywood is a hot topic these days. But it’s also not a new conversation as the subject of this captivating documentary makes clear. Back in the 1970’s, Marcia Nasatir was one of a handful of women wielding influence in Hollywood. As a Vice President for United Artists, Nasatir championed films that have become American classics, including Rocky, Carrie, Coming Home, and Apocalypse Now. When she was fired from the studio, she moved on to producing films, including The Big Chill, a project turned down by 17 production companies. Once Nasatir came on board, the film got made. At age 90, Nasatir is feistier than most people half her age. She’s now a film critic and youtube sensation on a web series called “Film Geezers.” Spending time with Marcia Nasatir is informative, inspiring, and highly entertaining. The film’s title is spot on. She is without a doubt “A Classy Broad.” Running Time: 93 minutes
