Lambert and Stamp were rock stars who never performed before an audience.

They did try to make a film and that is when they found The Who, a struggling rock band.

They decided to film the band in the hope that success would provide a nice story for their documentary.

In the process, they found themselves sort of managing the situation so they could get good footage. And that involved some attention to performance details, costume, music and the like.

Before they or the band realized it they are the managers and had a runaway success on their hands.

They went on, in time, to manage other stars as well. Jimmy Hendrix for one.

Only one of the team survives and he is a charming story teller.

Members of the band are also seen.

It is a sideways doc of the band and the business which is unique and fascinating.

I would not mind seeing it again. A 4 out of Netflix5.
