Highly Overrated But Still Good

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This was great! I had a feeling beforehand how good it might be when I saw the list of the participants who appeared in it. Getting McGuinn,Hillman and Crosby to talk was the clincher all around in my opinion.Thankfully they made a documentary that was straightforward and focused on Gene and all facets of his story as it was, not turning into something different like the Oliver Stone Doors movie. Ray Manzarek continually ridiculed that movie and what a missed opportunity it was.Not here. It was really nice to see participation from not only other musicians, but Gene's family members as well.It's great when you've been a fan of someone and they get a tribute like this. And just as great is that Gene's music is still getting rediscovered.

I've seen and own a lot of rock DVD's, so I can spot a formulaic documentary when I see one. This was an exception, really evoked the times and feeling well, the interviewee's were insightful. A major coo to get the surviving Byrds involved, well done guys. Further to that, it adds credence to the fact that a lot of people rated Gene very highly, both as a Byrd and a solo artist. The fact that alongside the high profile covers (Mr. Tambourine Man, Turn Turn Turn) it was mostly Gene's songwriting keeping the band afloat initially...the drop dead one of the greatest pop/rock singles ever conceived (I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better) and gorgeous ballads like Set You Free This Time. Contributors also note Gene's excellent post Byrds work. So to sum it up, really enjoyable film, that didn't pander, told the truth and was all the better for it. I ordered it from Four Suns Productions and received the film promptly, well packaged. Good work again guys, look forward to what you do next. Get a Terry Reid film done! All the best, Adam

Understand why Gene Clark is so respected and enjoyed so many years after his death. This movie provides the context for where he came from (nowhere) to the the center of American music This is finally the doc that this this man deserved!!! So well told, so touching, and tragic. Great footage of the people who knew him best. It shows the remarkable arch of his life - rise, decline, rise,decline,rise and crash. Wonderfully respectful of his work without sugarcoating. I think that anyone who is a fan would want to see this and own it.A great way to understand the man and his music and understand why he has so many fans - like T Bone Burnett. Great rare footage of music insiders.

The Producer,Paul Kendall set out with one goal.To honor Gene Clark,not only as the man he was but in hope to introduced a talent all but relegated to a simple foot note in the annals of the most creative "Singer,Song Writer,Boom" of the last 50 years. Kendall and "Four Son Productions" deftly and clearly,via exclusive interviews with former Bandmates,Managers,Producers,Record Industry Moguls,family and friends reveal the true Gene Clark with answers carefully designed to protect one's own self interest. Years in the making,untold interviews,headaches and personal monies spent,all due to the love Gene gave freely to everyone he met.A story I know personally and heard repeated time and again and the driving force behind this documentary.Yet more than that.Tiz a beautiful treat for the eyes,up lifting and informative featuring a cast of legendary writers,singers and players such as David Crosby,Chris Hillman,Roger McGuiin and many others.This is one DVD you will want to revisit time and again,and soon I promise you will be searching for all the Gene Clark songs you can lay you're ears on… Trace Harrill
