The clips don't just celebrate the music, they illustrate his gift for the language of the lyric and telling stories through song. Go to Full Review

A surplus of musical treasures, though we never quite figure out who the man really was. Go to Full Review

09/29/2010 While not a name many instantly recognize, Mercer wrote or co-wrote so many standards used in many films. A nice documentary that goes from birth of the legendary musical genius from the American south. Eastwood makes a brief appearance in the beginning of the film, but this is not his to act in at all. It is pure documentary that he obviously approved of and lent his name to. Highly recommended for musicology students, music history buffs and film buffs alike if they ever heard his music in soundtracks. Moon River, of course, in Breakfast at Tiffeny's is one of the best known of the modern era. See more 03/01/2010 great doc never knew 1 man could write sooo many songs See more Read all reviews
