Description
Producer and Professor Jonathan Taplin returns with more stories from a wild era in Hollywood. This time, he takes us on the journey of one of the greatest concert films of all time - Martin Scorsese's THE LAST WALTZ. Scorsese employed feature film techniques to document The Band's final concert, leading to some moments of true movie magic - like when the camera operator ran out of tape 4 seconds after Muddy Waters' iconic performance ended, or when Taplin convinced a fledging VFX company that the blob falling out of Neil Young's nose was a booger and not cocaine.
