Movie Reviews of In Dreams
Movie Review: Sweet Dreams, Baby
Summary: 4 Stars
I actually had intended to see and review Roy Orbison's legendary musical documentary Black and White Nights- the one where the likes of Tom Waits, k.d. Lang and Bruce Springsteen sat in. At least that is what I thought I had ordered. Instead I received this bio pic which while not the same as I desired nevertheless is a nice valentine to one of the founder's of rock and roll, crooner style.
Roy Orbison `s music formed the backdrop for more than one high school dance or other social event in the old days. This film charts his rise as singer from his early days of trying to get in the door at Sun records to his first successful writing for the Everly Brothers and then his own stardom. People are probably more familiar with his later work like Blue Bayou and Pretty Baby but he along with Booby Vee, Ricky Nelson and others were the clean rock balladeers of the late 1950's when you were checking out that girl or guy - you know, the quieter time between bouts of Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard.
As usual with these biopics you get plenty of `talking head' interviews with later musicians explaining the influence that Orbison had on them. Here the likes of Bono, Robert Plant and Bruce Springsteen pay homage to the master. Heck, some of the Springsteen segment is from that Black and White documentary that I had expected. I still want to get that classic, as should you, but you should check this one out too if you are any kind of an Orbison fan.
Summary of In Dreams
"Roy Orbison is the greatest singer in the world." -Elvis Presley. Roy Orbison: In Dreams is the definitive chronicle of Roy Orbison's incredible career, told in his own words as only he could tell it. This revealing program includes classic music performance, personal home movies, photos, location footage and interviews with the stars Roy Orbison touched with his music. The remarkable body of work by Roy Orbison is tied not to any one decade, but virtually the entire life span of rock 'n' roll. He began his career in the 50's, a friend and contemporary of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash, and scored eight Top Ten hits between 1940 and 1964 with songs like Only The Lonely, Running Scared, Dream Baby, Crying, In Dreams, It's Over, and Oh, Pretty Woman, becoming one of the only American artists to ride out the British Invasion. He was inducted in the Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame and joined the Traveling Wilburys alongside Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and George Harrison in the 80's. In the 90's, his posthumous album, Mystery Girl, became the biggest selling album of his illustrious career. "In 1975, when I went into the studio to make "Born To Run", I wanted to make a record with words like Bob Dylan, that sounded like Phil Spector.but most of all, I wanted to sing like Roy Orbison." - Bruce Springsteen. "His great gift was to turn the pain and bad luck that he experienced into groundbreaking songs. - Bono.
