Henson's Place: The Man Behind the Muppets
Dir: David A. Goldsmith
1984
***
This Australian made-for-TV documentary is not really as in-depth as it claims to be. It has a few behind the scenes clips that I had not seen before and some interviews I've never seen but due to it being made before Jim Henson's death and before he made his last few films, it's very out of date. If however, you are as big a Muppet fan as I am and you must simply collect every second filmed of Jim Henson's creations then you must obviously seek it out and watch. It is strange though why this film was given a re-release on DVD and yet even after the success of 2011's The Muppets! The Muppets at Walt Disney World and The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson still haven't seen the light of day.
