Very nicely done biography of Hedy Lamarr. Besides being a major Hollywood actress, she invented frequency hopping spread spectrum as a secret communications method to steer torpedos. Though the US Navy never used it for that purpose, it was later used in military secret communications and is now used extensively in all sorts of radio data communications. The movie is really built upon an audio recording of a telephone interview by a reporter for Forbes. Hedy Lamar described various aspects of her life in the recording and the images on the screen followed along.

Really great!

Harold

I was always fascinated by this fine lady's biography. Hope I get a chance to watch this. What a talent, what a look, what a character!
