From his first band the Velvetones at age 16, through his stint as a paratrooper, to his lonesome death in 1970, this film captures the moments that made him a legend.

  A visual but not an aural experience.
  
  This isn't as bad as some reviewers make out. But it's not far off.

  Decent film, although maybe a bit shallow...
