The Sound of Fury*
(Regent Street Cinema, London)
(GB TVM 2015)
Documentary celebration of the life of British singer/songwriter Ronnie Wycherley, aka. Billy Fury, from humdrum beginnings in Liverpool to teenage idol, then subsequent tragic illness.
The incident rivalry of The Beatles and Cliff Richard is only fleetingly covered in what is otherwise a very well contextualised history of British rock 'n' roll in the 60s, and a timely reminder of Fury's slightly forgotten influence on that music era, whilst also offering a touching portrait of the shy, self-effacing man behind the music.
Directed by: Alan Bryan, Mark Sloper.
With Contributions by: Vince Eager, Jean Wycherley, Alvin Stardust, Amanda Barrie, John Leyton, David Puttnam, Ray Connolly, and others.
+ screened as an exlusive preview to its DVD release at the wonderful Regent Street Cinema
