Merely Marvelous is a celebration of the art and life of Broadway's greatest dancing star, Gwen Verdon.

Gwen's life is told through interviews with family members and theatre associates as well as a mine of rare footage from her Broadway and Hollywood careers. Merely Marvelous is the story of a brave woman who rose to the very top of her profession.
