The Outrageous Sophie Tucker (2014)

Making the rounds at American Jewish film festivals, this documentary about the last of the red hot mamas is pretty entertaining, though Jack and I would have liked more performances and less footage of the biographers. We had no problem with the celebrities, however, such as Bette Midler, Michael Feinstein, Barbara Walters, Tony Bennett, Carol Channing, and more. Afterwards we looked at the website, where the biographers seem to have copyrighted Ms. Tucker's (1887-1966) name, and watched some videos linked therein. The soundtrack is available on amazon, but the movie is still playing one-nighters and isn't available to watch online, nor on DVD. When it is, it will be fun for any who remember or want to know more about the good old days.
