The Many Faces of Dustin Hoffman

The Many Faces of Dustin Hoffman (1970)

0 | 30 Dec 1970 | Documentary

Dustin Hoffman’s most challenging physical transformation occurred early in his career, when he undertook the role of Jack Crabb in the big screen adaptation of Thomas Berger’s novel, Little Big Man (directed by Arthur Penn). The role required Hoffman to portray a character who lives well past the age of 100. In The Many Faces of Dustin Hoffman, director Elliott Erwitt is providing a rare behind-the-scenes look into the process of movie-making. In this brief film, Hoffman discusses the craft of acting in general, but also talks specifically about his approach to the Jack Crabb character. This insider's glimpse into the mind of one of our greatest actors is a rare treat for both fans of Hoffman and anyone interested in the process of acting.
