Review by Muswellmedia

Director Peter Whitehead was something of a one man band as a film maker making news items and what we now call pop promos. So what we get here is a number of the kind of films he was producing at the time joined together, collage like, rather than a rounded supposedly complete vision. But hey thats what it was like, there was no simple straight line narrative knitting it all together. Personally I think this makes it more honest and valuable as a document of the time and the reason why TV programmes are still using this material to illustrate programmes about the period.

My favourite moment features the Stones playing the Royal Albert Hall and whipping the audience up into a rioting mob that flood the stage with Brian Jones laughing his head off at the chaos. Also Lee Marvin and Michael Caine define cool while Vanessa Redgrave sings out of tune.
