Title: Not a film for "fans" of Alan Freed
Review: This is a "made-for-TV" movie for people who no nothing about the man and the music of the times. Most of the facts are wrong and the music bits played during the film are sometimes years ahead of when the story is taking place. Being a record collector of the early R & B and doo-wop records, I also noticed that the records that they show playing all have the wrong labels for the song represented. They did not care about getting the facts right. If you just want to see a made up story about a man and the music of the times, this is pretty good.But if you want to see a film closer to the truth about Alan Freed, search out a copy of "American Hot Wax". Hopefully, some day, it will be given an official release.
