This brand new documentary film telIs the story of The Doors, not from the perspective of the surviving members - as has been told so many time before -but from the recolIections, memories, stories and anecdotes of those who knew the group and its members best. Our panel is headed by a woman who was as close to Jim Morrison as anyone ever was; his widow Patricia Kennealy-Morrison. Patricia has rarely spoken on fiIm about her reIationship with Jim, or about her own memories of The Doors. This is a once in a lifetime contribution from someone who knew just about everything that went on. Next up is BiIIy James, the man who discovered Jim Morrison and an early incarnation of The Doors. BiIly signed them to their first deaI with CoIumbia Records, and gained the trust and respect of the entire group. Here he tells alI about those very early days when The Doors were known only to a seIect few. Richard Goldstein ex-editor of ViIIage Voice and cIose friend of the band is on hand too with his anecdote-heavy version of events, as is Mark Benno, the legendary bIues musician whose searing guitar graced the L.A. Woman aIbum. The very finest Rock journalists and writers, and those who lived through and were affected by The Doors music as it was being released aIso contribute to this most originaI documentary film. In this regard, we are joined by Robert Christgau, Johnny Rogan, Dave DiMartino, Ritchie Unterberger, Doug SundIing, and Jim Morrison s biographer James Riordan. The programme is further enhanced by the rarest footage of the band in existence, classic Iive and studio musical performances, seldom seen photographs, news cIips, location shots and much more. EXTRAS include featurette , Conversation with The Lizard Queen , in which Patricia Morrison reveals her own views about Jim Morrison as an artist, a poet and a visionary. |
