When asked about his music, The Doors’ iconic lead singer Jim Morrison drawls, “There is a heavy, gloomy feeling of someone not quite at home... aware of a lot of things but not sure of anything.” That feeling pervades this portrait of The Doors, lovingly assembled by director and writer Tom Dicillo, who recounts the history of the tumultuous band while trying to disentangle fact from myth...
Founded in 1876, the SMFA has served as the training ground for internationally renowned artists such as Cy Twombly, Ellsworth Kelly, Nan Goldin, and Jim Dine. Just across the street from the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), the SMFA is housed in a building designed by Graduate School of Design grad Graham D.

As unflusterable as Robert Young's Jim Anderson on Father Knows Best, Bentley wore suits that were tailored, not elbow-patched, and treated Kelly's adolescent anxieties with the same dextrous paternalism that made him so convincing in the courtroom. (Somehow the girl had more romantic entanglements than her suave guardian.) Nothing special, yet archetypal, the series wafted into homes...
