A tasty little film which deserves more attention., 21 July 2001
Author: curlew-2 from North Charleston, South Carolina
The sort of "little" film which studios used to excel at but seldom make anymore. Sort of a "soul" version of the more well-known "The Last Of The Blonde Bombshells". Ian McShane is excellent as a DJ and aficionado of soul music who becomes obsessed with the idea of re-uniting the members of a classic soul group, and the film follows his exploits as well as those of the group members; a cast which includes such genuine musical talent as Isaac Hayes, as well as acting stalwarts Taurean Blacque, Derrick O'Connor and Antonio Fargas. Not meant to be an epic by any means, this is nonetheless a chunk of solid gold.
Still Waiting!, 25 December 2007
Author: jklktnak from United States
After another 5 years I'm still waiting for this tasty bit of film work to be released for those of us who really love this show. Does anyone know who controls the rights to this movie so that we can get it released? I have a copy recorded on VHS when it was broadcast but I would prefer a DVD copy that I can watch over and over again without major deterioration of the crazy antics of the great cast in one of the best "B" movies of all time.Ian McShane is a real joy (As in Lovejoy)which has now being finally released on DVD for those of us who really appreciate his work, and would love to see this gem as well.Perhaps someday,sigh!
I loved this film., 16 September 2004
Author: george rogers (gr49) from Chico, CA
Ian McShane and the entire cast are excellent. The plot is intriguing and the acting is excellent. Funny lines. Believable acting. I loved this movie. Ian McShane is excellent as the DJ who yearns for the past and launches a journey to relive that time. Well worth watching for a second and third time. I was particularly impressed with the quality of the supporting cast. Vernon, Grover, and Eddie were funny and believable. Connie was a delight, sweet and beautiful. Dave was a lovable rascal. Bradley Facemeyer was really menacing with his gang of thugs. I have rented this movie for several of my friends and each of them really enjoyed it.
"Lovejoy at his best", 2 October 2002
Author: jkl76ktnak (jkl76ktnak@att.net) from Alaska,U.S.A.
A very delightful bit of filmwork that should have had wider distribution. Ian McShane is right at home playing the soul loving DJ who gets canned because he won't " go along with the program " and sets out to let the world know what they're missing. The supporting cast is great as well, and the music is the "Soul" of the film. I just wish that the film would be released so that I could get a copy of this for my film library.
Rates up there with "The Blues Brothers", 21 May 2002
Author: Kenny (stax2002uk@yahoo.co.uk) from Falkland Islands (at the moment)
This two parter rates, as far as I am concerned, along with "The Commitments" and "The Blues Brothers" as one of the best screenplays to deal with Soul music. Showing, as they all do, that it makes no difference what colour or nationality you are, Soul is for and about us all. I taped this series when first (in fact the the only time)it was broadcast, I watch it time and time again and the most criminal aspect of it is..........the BBC never released a soundtrack to it. Not only were there classic tracks included but we never got to hear the full versions of "pickin' up the pieces" and "like a babe in arms". Any fans out there, lets see if we can't get this out, and to quote McShane "lets keep on keepin' on"
