About Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton as Himself
Plimpton! tells the story of writer, editor, amateur sportsman and friend to many, George Plimpton. Using Plimpton’s own narration – along with thoughts and stories from friends, family and contemporaries – the film is a joyful celebration of a life lived fully, richly, strangely, and, at times, a life that is hard to believe was actually lived by just one man.
Directed by Luke Poling, Tom Bean, Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton as Himself leans on a strong ensemble — George Plimpton, Sarah Dudley Plimpton, Terry McDonell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2012.
