The story of legendary performer Carol Channing's life is as colourful as the lipstick on her big, bright smile. "CAROL CHANNING: LARGER THAN LIFE" captures the magic and vivacity of the 90-year-old icon - both onstage and off...past and present. The film is both an intimate love story and a rarefied journey inside Broadway's most glamorous era. It is, above all, a look at an inspiring, incomparable and always entertaining American legend.

Alison Rowat's Review
There is nothing like the dame that is Carol Channing, she of Hello Dolly and Thoroughly Modern Millie fame, the star with the letter box mouth and the bush baby eyes, the one, the only.
I’m in danger here of going as ga-ga for the lady as director Dori Bernstein and the many adoring fans which feature in this portrait of the Broadway star.
With contributions from Debbie Reynolds, Tyne Daly, Barbara Walters and others this is a funny, true, shrewd and deservedly loving look at a stage legend.
