I love the reaction shots from Mama Cass


When Janis is singing her absolute heart out, they cut to Cass Elliot in the audience, and her mouth has just dropped open from what she was hearing and seeing. Then, at the end of Janis' performance, you see Cass mouthing "Wow. Wow."

Absolutely the ultimate accolade from one top notch performer to another. And so incredibly cool. My nine-year old daughter was very much into the Mamas and the Papas when we first watched this. After watching Cass' reaction, she got into Janis. That's awesome.




I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

I totally agree--that shot of Cass, who had amazing voice herself, showing her appreciation for Janis, just thrills me in itself, and makes me really MISS all the wonderful musicians who are gone from us except in great film like this.
