Airdate: Paul Newman: Always On The Move

Another doco for film buffs, Paul Newman: Always On The Move screems this Saturday on SBS.

The portrait of a perpetually dissatisfied man who lived his life free from Hollywood’s shackles, driven by perfectionism but also by a hidden anxiety. Endowed with the physique of a Greek statue and azure blue eyes, Paul Newman might have settled for being the epitome of a Hollywood star. And yet, he would spend his life surprising everyone.

Notoriety weighed heavily upon this superstar. The rising talent wanted to prove that he was more than just a pretty face. He spent more than 50 years reinventing himself: producer, director, racer, entrepreneur, activist. This is the story of a restless soul who lived his life free from Hollywood’s shackles, driven by perfectionism but also by a hidden anxiety.

Saturday, 1 July at 7.30pm on SBS.
