Veteran director Barry Levinson first gained fame with Diner (1982), a semi-autobiographical film about his youth in Baltimore with his friends during the late 1950s. In this film, Levinson creates a documentary about his friends who inspired Diner. Highlights include the interviewees musing about life, women, and the faux-profundity of "Puff the Magic Dragon." Original Diner Guys was screened at the Mill Valley Film Festival.
