Julie D Oct 2 What Jenkins unpacks here is nothing short of revelatory. See more Tanaputz J @Tanaputz Sep 28 After the token bits of basic bio, this "biography" is nothing more than testimony about racial division 50 years ago. Ed Sullivan didn't single handedly bring about the changes that came about in broadcasting back then, contrary to this shows theme. This show is a biopic of black entertainment disguised as a tribute. I quit watching when I realized it wasn't really about Ed Sullivan... See more John B Sep 16 Terrific film and highly recommended! We all know something about Ed Sullivan, even if it is from the Beatles famous landing on his show, but... this really opened my eyes about his impact on culture and the fight for civil rights for Black Americans. I enjoyed the lesson immensely. Plus, I love music and music history and this took me on a great journey. Thanks to the filmmakers! See more Frank K Sep 11 Absolute Must-See! - Best movie on Netflix. I would love to see it on the big screen - Great movie. See more John Y. @JYJr16 Sep 10 A good history of the role Ed Sullivan played in providing a national stage for Black artists that otherwise wouldn’t be able to have such large exposure. However, sometimes the complete story wasn’t told. For instance, Bo Diddley was shown making his breakout performance on the Sullivan show. What wasn’t mentioned is that this was his only performance on the show because Ed banned him for life because he didn’t play the song that Ed was expecting him to play. But overall, some excellent material here. See more Movie F. @hiker Sep 7 I used to watch the Ed Sullivan show when growing up and had no idea how influential he was.
