Woodhead’s movie is at its best in how neatly it delineates the different musical phases of Fitzgerald’s career.

The best thing about Ella Fitzgerald: Just One of Those Things, other than the music, is the way it evokes an era and reminds us that its subject was one of the great voices of the 20th century.
