not legitimate

I thought that was needed too, hopefully they can at least get a interview with him for a dvd extra... maybe one with Alice Cooper too, I am sure he has some good insight as well.

For now I hope somebody picks up this thing and gets it distributed! I am dying to see it but everytime I check back on the website it still has the same outdated page. If the director of this movie is reading this think about making this a download that can be purchased by paypal... anything! I really want to see this!

I'm pretty sure I read that Ringo refused to be interviewed because he was so close with Harry and it was too hard to talk about, but that he was happy the film was being made. I also think I remember hearing he had seen the film and given it a thumbs up.

I saw the film and while a Ringo interview would have been nice, it is still a great film that deserves to be shown.

OK, so you are right to say that this film is lacking an interview with Ringo, true enough. Ringo would have been a wonderful addition, BUT, his missing presence does not mean this film is not worth seeing. It is still an amazing look at an incredible talent. Also, something you might not be aware of, I saw this film at a screening in Seattle, where the director was present and took questions from the audience. "Why no Ringo?" was asked. The director explained that he asked Ringo to participate, but that Ringo refused to sit for any interviews explaining "I dearly loved Harry. He was my brother and my friend. His loss is still to close to me, and our relationship too personal for me to talk about on the record". He did however fully cooperate in many other ways, opening his personal archives to the film makers and making available to them home movies, as well as footage, unseen for many years, from the Dracula movie they made together. (Ringo owns the rights to the film and the only print in existence). Ringo may not have done interviews for the film, but he is there nonetheless, in spirit.

There are three people that Ringo refuses to speak about publicity: John Lennon, George Harrison, and Harry Nilsson. Ringo was interviewed off the record for this documentary. He allowed the use of all sorts of archival footage without accepting compensation.

But when it comes to John, George, and Harry, Ringo would rather not have to open up his broken heart in public. Respect his choice.

Ringo has said he will not talk about three people: Lennon, Harrison and Nilsson. He was kind enough to provide some source material and allow them use of old footage. I think the filmmaker did a great job in spite of not having a recent Starr interview.

Starr's lost some pivotal people and who can blame him if he doesn't want to share this pain in a public way?
