5.8-ish? Somewhere around that. There's not really any structure. For a documentary that claims to tell the story of a movie production, it doesn't really say much at all about said process. Title cards try to use the film's progress to tie the segments together, ineffectually. In the end, it's a disjointed mashup of contemporary interviews, poorly preserved TV archives (I swear some of the clips were 16-by-16 pixels), movie footage, and photos. Abrupt tonal shifts don't help it. Interesting look at Reynolds and Needham, but by no means would missing this be a great loss.
