Video: Liza Minnelli Talks About Father Vincente in LIZA: A TRULY TERRIFIC ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY Clip
The new documentary is currently playing at IFC Center in New York.

In a clip from Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story, Broadway legend Liza Minnelli recalls her father Vincente, who directed many iconic movie musicals.
"Father inspired me with everything, especially art" Minnelli explains in a clip from the new documentary, which is now in theaters. "And from watching him direct everybody else, he was a tyrant!" Liza's father Vincente was a director of both stage and film, with screen credits that included Meet Me in St. Louis (which starred Liza's mother Judy Garland), An American in Paris, and Gigi.

Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story is the new documentary from the writer/director Bruce David Klein about the Broadway legend. The film brings the dazzling, complex period of Liza Minnelli's life in the 1970s, just after the tragic death of her mother, into focus. It also shines a light on her extraordinary mentors which include Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse, and features participation from many friends who know her well – Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey, and the late Chita Rivera, along with the star herself.
The film, a production of Atlas Media Corp, makes its way onto the silver screen via Zeitgeist Films in association with Kino Lorber. The movie opened Jan. 24, 2025 at IFC Center in New York, Jan. 31 at Laemmle’s Royal in Los Angeles and Town Center in Encino, and is also screening regionally. The theatrical release comes after the film’s world premiere at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival and sold-out screenings at Hamptons Film Festival, Provincetown Film Festival and as a Centerpiece at the NewFest LGBTQ+ Film Festival.
