San Francisco Chronicle

Affectionately observed, nimbly edited (and perhaps a mite overly reverent) documentary.

Rated: 3/4

It's a rich entertainment comprising Busch's on-camera comments; interviews with friends, family, and collaborators; and hilarious footage both old and new.

An absolute orgy of Busch memorabilia, which will satisfy devotees and pique the interest of the uninitiated.
