He gets a surprisingly strong boost from David Hemmings, the onetime hip photographer in Blow-Up, who here turns in a pungent character portrayal as a local hanger-on equally devoted to Hudson...
...Rise Club hosts the Universally Powered Roy Hannes Hip Ensemble this week. And this is the real stuff. Mainstream, contemporary...not to sound picky but you'd think there must be other labels.

His eyesight is so poor that when he plays golf, he has to have his aides tell him how far it is to the green.
