The camera reveals that age has been hard on the group's faces--they all look like Dorian Gray's pictures--but kind to their bodies. The guys are pencil-slim, especially Mick. Watching in awe as he capers indefatigably, shaking his sexagenarian booty, you want the secret of the Mick Jagger Fitness Regimen, even if you suspect it's 45 years of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.
