That’ll Be The Day - 1973 - 7/10
Late 1950’s, early 1960’s, Jim is aimless and angry.
School bores him and he finds petty jobs at a pub, then an amusement park.
A Lothario to the core, he disposes of females as quickly as he hooks them.
He treats his best friend shabbily, lets everyone around him down, escapes into music.
In short, he is extremely unlikable, and a 70’s version of the “angry young men.”
For all that, this is spectacular at recreating the look, feel and music of the era.
Costars include Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, Billy Fury.
