Movie Review: Good Doco
Summary: 4 Stars
A good doco in memory of the Aussie Broadway star could more be contributed with 10-15 minutes of his live performing.
Summary of Peter Allen - The Boy From Oz
The transplanted Aussie who took Broadway by stormPETER ALLEN: THE BOY FROM OZ
Flamboyant performer and introspective songwriter Peter Allen had a meteoric run on the world stage. He packed houses all over the world and wrote some of the most enduring ballads of the 1970s and 80s including career-making hits for Olivia Newton-John ( I Honestly Love You ) and Melissa Manchester ( Don't Cry Out Loud ) before succumbing to AIDS in 1992.
This documentary produced by Ben Gannon, co-creator of the Tony®-winning musical The Boy From Oz tells the story through Allen's own words and interviews with his family, friends, and famous colleagues, such as Carole Bayer Sager, Bernadette Peters, Lily Tomlin, and Ann-Margret. Among the highlights is a rare clip of Allen in an appearance with his mentor Judy Garland and then future-wife Liza Minelli. But best of all, the film is packed with footage of Allen performing his signature songs, including the joyous I Go to Rio, the Oscar®-winning Best That You Can Do from the movie Arthur, and the movingly autobiographical Tenterfield Saddler.
DVD BONUS: Exclusive interview with producer Ben Gannon.
