i haven not see this film since it come out in the mid 70 and but i do recall it a be a very realistic portrayal of the music business ( right up there with paul simon one trick pony . another vastly underrate film imo ) harvey keitel do an excellent job a a producer caught between the music he believe in and and the commercial tripe the record company suit want him to work with . since i spend my entire career in the music business a a composer or arranger or producer and i can really vouch for the verisimilitude this film possess . if it should ever come out on dvd uncut and i would buy it .
