But to paraphrase “All the President’s Men,” “Don’t tell me you think that all of this was the work of little Stevie Dahl.” It is fascinating how the Bee Gees and their younger brother Andy Gibb were always being played on the radio, and then how they were never being played on the radio. The release of “Pepper” also adds to the group’s late ’70s oversaturation, which led to the inevitable backlash against them. At the same time, it’s the only feature film the Bee Gees starred in, it was the music of the Beatles, whom they idolized and wanted to be, and it was supposed to be a kind of passing of the torch even if it wasn’t nearly. But it seems worth a mention.Īnd yes, I get it, you can’t put everything into a 90-minute doc. It was a Robert Stigwood production, as was “Fever,” and Stigwood was their manager, so I guess that’s why. I’d always assumed they were cast in “Pepper” because of the success of “Fever” but it was before then. The Bee Gees were filming it in the fall of ’77-right as “How Deep Is Your Love?” was climbing the charts, and months before “Saturday Night Fever” was even released. That’s a real thing? she asked incredulously.Ī huge bomb.
BEE GEES DOCUMENTARY 2020 UK MOVIE
The movie starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton? With the Bee Gees as the Hendersons and Peter Frampton as Billy Shears in an all-star musical of Beatles’ songs? Came out in the summer of ’78.
She gave me a tight smile and laughed a note for what she assumed was a feeble joke. That’s what I asked my wife the day after we watched “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” on HBO-a doc we both enjoyed.
