    You make me glad I didn't see it! I'll stick to listening to the real woman in her prime, on my old Columbias.

    Maybe it's just me, but I can't see the point of films about people who themselves featured plentifully in film and recordings., e.g. I never wanted to watch 'The Crown' as the late Queen was vivid to me in reality, with no need of imitation.

      The problem with biographies is that they tend to disappoint if you know the subject matter. Biographies of musicians tend to be boring or inaccurate. I have resisted the chance to see the Robbie Williams chimp film which , at least , is different. I would love to see a film about someone like Blind Lemon Jefferson who had an interesting life despite his disability. It would make a change from stories about troubled artists.
