The discussion led us to the social circles of Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West, Winston Churchill and Te Lawrence with Bell in the desert, Whirling Dervishes, a maypole dance, Dorothy Arzner's Christopher Strong starring Katharine Hepburn, Werner Herzog's Queen Of The Desert with Nicole Kidman, and Ridley Scott's interest in the Desert Queen, executive producer Thelma Schoonmaker, finding the right tone, costume designer Allison Wyldeck, and Ahead Of Time: The Extraordinary Journey Of Ruth Gruber.

Ahead Of Time is an engrossing new documentary chronicling the remarkable life of 100 year old feminist pioneer Ruth Gruber, an American journalist, author, photographer, humanitarian, and government official. A close friend of Virginia Wolff, Gruber was, in 1931 the youngest person in the world to have received a Ph.D and has advanced degrees in German Philosophy, Modern English Literature and Art History. She was the first journalist to enter the Soviet Arctic, escorted Holocaust refugees to America, and covered the Nuremberg trials. Quite an accomplishment for a woman in that time period, perhaps the film should have been titled .Ahead of Her Time.
Much of Ahead Of Time is a series of new interviews by filmmaker Bob Richman with Gruber as she speaks candidly and proudly of her achievements, obsessions, and globetrotting career. She.s a unique historical figure and quite the raconteur. Ms Gruber is fascinating to watch and listen to,...
