Fans of The Who and others of "my generation" will enjoy this documentary about Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp, filmmakers who helped grow the careers of Messrs. Daltry, Entwistle, Moon, and Townshend. The directorial debut of cinematographer James D. Cooper (he shot David and Lisa (1998) and more, using the name Douglas Cooper), it features tons of music, lots of film clips from the '60s and beyond, and current interviews with survivors Roger Daltry, Pete Townshend, Stamp, and his much more famous brother Terence Stamp, among others.
I didn't count the songs in the credits but this list looks pretty complete. Rotten Tomatoes' critics average 86 and its audiences 63. Check it out before it leaves our neighborhood art house tomorrow night.
