Review of Chuck Berry: Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll (1987) by Josh H — 27 Sep 2010

A really great concert film and if you didn't know anything about Chuck Berry going into it, it's a tremendous introduction (a sign of any good documentary). You get a chance to see Chuck on stage, recording, being a regular human being and everything in between.

Outside of his refusal to discuss his legal problems and run-ins with the law, which, I believe were overshadowed by his musical career, it doesn't take away from giving you a really in-depth look at the man behind the legend, both good and bad.
