At A Glance: Equal parts edification and entertainment, Kempner's tender tribute to a forgotten pioneer of American entertainment is both richly deserved and long overdue.

"[An] engrossing documentary portrait of a once-beloved radio and television star who died in 1966 and today is barely remembered." - Stephen Holden, New York Times

"In Yoo Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg, Kempner gives us a balance of artist and alter ego, introducing us to a woman we'd like to know even better." - Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

"The documentary, like the series, is haimish in the extreme - cozy, warm, homey. It touches on such larger issues as feminism, acculturation, suburbanization, and the blacklist." - Mark Feeney, Boston Globe
