This film makes a statement by removing the viewers from the seats of the concert audience. The director not only shows us the personal dynamics of Tina and Ike on stage but allows us to see the way their audiences responded to them. The film's camera angle describes Turner's enthusiasm and personal commitment to music by showing us the relations between the performers, the music, the choreography and the audience that we could not appreciate if the performance scenes had been a smaller segment of the movie...

He achieved prominence as a fashion photographer after the war and international recognition with his portraits...
...when the play begins, when movies capture the grace and crunch on the field or court or ice, it can be beautiful to watch. Films can't duplicate the 17-camera omniscience of the World Series on TV, but, as Shelton says, "I can put a camera where none of those 17 can go: on the mound, in the dugout or the shower." With such details, a sports film can appeal even when it is about spring training -- for how many other kinds of contemporary films actually show people working? An athlete's job may be more glamorous and hazardous...
