This week I watched a restored version or Rolling Stones' 1970 documentary "Gimme Shelter", at a small, rather hip theatre here in New York City. It's receiving good reviews in the local mags & the screening i went to was packed.
The question is: Do you think a Smiths documentary should be (or ever will be) made & released on the big screen? I'm sure every fan will immediately shout YES!... but try to think realistically & objectively... what angle would the film have to take to pull in a sizable audience aside from us die-hards? Would it have any real chance of success?
Not much marketing is necessary when dealing with bands like The Rolling Stones or The Beatles, because it has been pounded into our heads over the decades that they're the best, etc...
Do you think The Smiths will ever get the chance to "shine in the public eye" in this way?
curious of your opinions... -c
