brilliant to relive the 60`s music. it helped to be familiar with the characters and events. what a genius joe meek was even though slighly flawed. thoroughly enjoye the film will add it to dvd collection on release
Nick Moran's biopic of Britain's answer to Phil spector showcases a superb performance from Con O'Neill in the lead, with fine support from Kevin Spacey, Tom Burke, J.J. Field and Pam Ferris.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Telstar (Telstar: The Joe Meek Story)" !
