An engaging look at some of the largest world figures and events of the last seven decades through the eyes of one of the most recognizable personalities in news media over that same time frame. I learned a lot about Wallace's personal life as well and appreciated the doc makers employing the same approach their subject would have, in their raw and seemingly honest portrayal of him. Mike Wallace and 60 Minutes have always provided that steady, comforting feeling that I recognize only occurs with those rare figures or institutions that have been noticeably present throughout the entirety of a life. 8.5/10

Raises important questions about the media and their purpose. Are they there to seek out drama and controversy, or to report the facts. I saw it on a delta flight.

Saw it on a cross country flight. The subject seemed worthwhile and intriguing. The footage of interviews, etc. is absolutely terrific. But Mike Wallace as portrayed here....? Meh. You see and hear a lot, but don't really learn much about him---and you don't learn about why the filmmaker chose to focus on Mike Wallace. It has to be more than "Oh snap! no one's ever done a documentary on this, I'll do it." Because otherwise it's just a chronology of an inscutable, opaque, not very appealing person's life and career. And here's one specific nit-pick about the lack of providing context: only once can I recall---for Frank Lloyd Wright---that interview subjects were actually identified by caption. Unless Mike Wallace was talking about a particular interview and the documentary cut to that exact interview it is up to the viewer to figure out who is on the screen. I know a quite a bit about mid and late 20th Century history, but found this ommission irritating----for example: Morley Safer would be talking about a characteristic of Mike Wallace, like "Once he got hold of a news lead he'd never let it go" and it would cut away to some famous person from 50-60 years ago talking or reacting---and literally half the time I didn't know who it was---no labeling etc. Generally, an ok way to pass the time.
