...concert segments which Frank included do seem to have the express intent of deglamorizing the musicians and their work. During a concert with Stevie Wonder, for example, we watch Mick Jagger awkwardly attempt to share a mike with the blind musician.

Her timorous gentility suggests to her landlady's brother (Bob Hoskins, with some of his spark plugs missing) the possibilities of untapped wealth -- enough of it, anyway, to finance a restaurant he wants to start. To Judith, his mercenary...
