It’s Viva Las Vegas time in this trip down memory lane with the one and only Miss Nancy Sinatra and her co-conspirator Lee Hazlewood. And yes, the above embedded short documentary by Suki Hawley and Michael Galinsky includes archive footage of her singing “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” live on stage. (Personally, I prefer the Crispin Glover cover version, but this will do.) And that stage is at The Riviera, one of the last of the old school Vegas casinos still in business to this day, having opened back in 1955.
The occasion for this short doc about Lee Hazlewood was a re-release screening of the 1973 documentary Nancy & Lee in Las Vegas at the Anthology Film Archives sometime in the late ’90s. Hazlewood, who helped edit the ’73 film, and the film’s director, Torbjörn Axelman, were at the Archives’ screening where Hawley and Galinsky sat them down to discuss the making of it.
