**(Two Stars)

This was incredibly educational to watch, I learned so much not just about the life of Charles Nelson Reilly but also about our Gay history. 

the life of reilly movie review film charles nelson reilly fort lauderdale international film festival This slow, dramatic, and tragic life story was set up much like his one man show on a stage with limited sets.  He covered everything from when the actor was born onto a stage in 4th grade.  He talked about moving to Connecticut, and taking acting classes.  My favorite is when he went out to California to meet the President of NBC and he tells Reilly that no Queers are allowed on TV. Charles Nelson Reilly packed it up and went back home to become an off Broadway actor, etc. 
I'll let Reilly tell the story as he does so well. These are his memoirs, the way that he can reflect back and give credit and recognition to all those that have affected his life.  Reilly said about teaching his acting students that they were not only able to learn from him, but from "all those that have taught him and affected his education."
