The Beiderbecke Affair (1985)
Simply Brilliant
6 July 2014 - 8 out of 9 users found this review helpful.
I recently bought the DVD set of the Beiderbeck Trio - amazingly good stuff. The first one, the Beiderbeck Affair, was made thirty years ago and still retains all its charm and gentle humour.
It pokes fun at pomposity and and in particular "the system" without any expletives or stupidity, a difficult thing to do.
Every word of dialogue is beautifully delivered and every shot is nicely framed, especially the high-level shots.
The two remaining shows maintain the same features - a joy from start to finish. Wish it had been longer.
The additional info booklet was very interesting as were the interviews and the splendid CD of the music tracks.
