Kimberley Jim (1963)
8/10
Excellent film considering the time and resouces
24 February 2012
The music is surprisingly good: the orchestration done by Bill Walker on the recommendation of Jim immigrated to the USA to become a big force in Nashville. The choice of songs was appropriate, and the performances haven't dated in any way.Jim's performance is more than adequate considering it's his only attempt.Obviously Jim would have gone on to even better material, but in no way is this inferior considering he had six weeks to learn and complete his portion. I highly recommend this film where you don't need a psychiatrist or an interpreter to explain the mumbles in the first five minutes like today's excuse for a film.I remember seeing this first at a midnight showing, with socks off and feet up on the seats, but in no way did it detract from the enjoyment which still is dear to the remembrance of a legend.
