Jackie Gleason: The Great One (1988) (TV)

Fabulous production, half tribute and half retrospective, hosted by another legend, John Candy. Candy's love for the "Great One" is obvious as is the respect and admiration of all those in attendance at the Black Tie event. Tons of clips and archival footage.
