The Happy Days of Garry Marshall spends an appropriately long time on Pretty Woman, complete with Jeffrey Katzenberg explaining how he took a dark script and decided that what it needed was that Garry Marshall touch. To some degree, Scheinfeld is willing to let the star status guide the documentary a little.
Those happy days movie tv#
You probably already suspected as much from the loose, spirited joy of his early TV hits and even from the star-glutted excesses of the holiday-themed trilogy that capped his career. The thing you come away from The Happy Days of Garry Marshall feeling, with the most certainty, is that people loved working with him. For all the places it could have offered more depth or detail, it did those things instead, and I’m sure Marshall would have approved. I don’t know from awards here, but The Happy Days of Garry Marshall absolutely made me laugh, caused my heart to swell and, even if it didn’t wring full-on tears from me, it generated a surge of emotion in the end. Never mind if the resulting TV shows and movies didn’t win Emmys or Oscars. As he and his myriad collaborators emphasize throughout The Happy Days of Garry Marshall, he was a populist with an instinct for art that made audiences laugh, experience warm fuzzies and, ideally, perhaps even cry. Garry Marshall wasn’t an artist of subtle tones.
