This 1983 documentary interviews many of Phil Spector's mentors, sidemen and professional associates, and is eerily prophetic as several describe his erratic behavior and gun-obsession. Before he became a convicted killer, Spector was a great pop producer, but was never anything less than a ruthless, greedy businessman who exploited his artists mercilessly, as Darlene Love, among others, attests. There is a delightful little interlude with Ms. Love lip-synching to her classic Spector Xmas recording of "White Christmas" as she walks along a California beach, among other diverting moments. The interviews with the Ramones, all of whom seem to have detested working with Spector, are classics. However, the color was terribly over-saturated and overall picture quality was not good; this cries out for a professional digital remastering, hence three stars instead of four.

This was not what I thought it was....the company was GREAT in their delivery and service,and the description was ok....I should have realized this was a taping off a PBS special from the late 1990's....after watching for 5 minutes,I realized I had seen this on tv....I dont want to add anything to that dope phil spectors pockets....he was a great music maker,but as a human being,he SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
