This is an extra included with the DVD for "Thank You, Jeeves" and "Step Lively, Jeeves"--two enjoyable B-movies from Twentieth-Century Fox. I particularly enjoyed this short film because I really knew nothing about the creator of the Jeeves and Wooster series, P.G. Wodehouse.

The film was a biography about Woodhouse and consisted of many interviews and photos--all from people who never apparently knew the man personally. One was a man who had written a biography of Wodehouse and I was curious why some of the others appeared in the film--particularly American actor Curtis Armstrong ('Booger' from "Revenge of the Nerds"). Regardless, they all seemed to know quite a bit about the man and the story of his life was full of surprises--particularly about his life during WWII. In some ways, in real life he seemed a bit oblivious--just like his Wooster character! Interesting and well worth seeing for those, like me, unfamiliar with the writer. And, interestingly, I found it more interesting than the feature films on the DVD!

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
