MessageI rather like STAR! which presents a well-known egomaniac
pain-in-the-arse as just that. Great performance by Julie Andrews and, as
usual, director Robert Wise delivered what could be taken as superficial
singing soap opera, as indeed something more.

Funny Girl, Love or Leave Me. The Helen Morgan Story and Jolson Story are all
highly enjoyable musical films but I don't know if I'd call them great
"biographies". A lot of those films are fictional. I also don't know if your
question is a fair one: does the world need more horror films or detective
films or sci-fi films or love stories or porno? The world needs good films, no
matter the genre.

P.S. Add La Bamba to the list.

All this talk about a Sinatra movie biography got me wondering if there is
really a need for more biographies of great pop singers. What WERE the best
film biographies of popular singers?
