Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Konterr Brilliant and touching

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

ccthemovieman-1 Jim Croce, a singer from the early 1970s, had a bunch of hit songs (eight) in a short span (two years) and then died tragically in an accident. He was only 30 years old.In this television-for-BBC concert, released on DVD about five years ago, Jim performs many of his great songs. In addition to footage of this made-for-TV concert, we also see him performing in other televised appearances, mostly, I think, from the U.S.A. Wherever the setting, this disc gives you a very nice, intimate look at this talented man. It's hard to believe these were done over 30 years ago, and that he's been gone that long.What you get is mainly a pleasant, small atmosphere with the artist and another guitarist singing a bunch of Croce's songs and Jim casually discussing some things about his career. He has a pleasing way of telling stories and had a very popular way of singing very interesting and sometimes very humorous songs. Those songs sound just as good today as they did 35 years ago.For a sincere, loving tribute to a wonderful artist and just plain nice guy, this is highly recommended.
