1.0 out of 5 stars Run, Don't Walk Away From This Movie, August 8, 2007

This review is from: When the Applause Died [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Yes, it is that bad. There is very little interesting content on the celebrities featured. The people that put this together simply through together snippets of information and video on as many dead celebs as they could. There is no depth to the reporting. Buy this only if you intended to give it to an enemy.

4.0 out of 5 stars When the Applause Died, January 7, 2011

This review is from: When the Applause Died [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When the Applause Died: I accidentally purchased this - thinking there was much on here about Jim Morrison of the doors. As I recall - there was about 15 to 20 seconds about him, on that I was disappointed. In some ways I agree with the first review on here - a very cheaply made - low-budget documentary. It starts off back in the days of Fatty Arbuckle(sp?). Then it talks about one celebrity after another, with regards to alcoholism and drug addiction. It is very slow in the beginning and picks up speed. Talks of Alflafa from the Little Rascals, other child and older movie stars. To me this is a very sobering documentary of addiction, and it does not even touch many celebs. It is staggering (no pun meant) in how deep the problems of stars can be. Most in this video died from their addictions. One that I see they missed is Love Addiction, which has plagued so many.
I would add - this is Not a cheery film. It is tragic and on the morbid side.
I later bought a copy of it on DVD, and comes with another similar film (I forget the title off-hand). So, if someone is interested in addiction and celebrities -and perhaps wants a sobering look at how addictions can ruin a life, - for a low-budget movie - I recommend this documentary. Scott M.
