Plot: Movie star John Phillip Law talks about his early career in movies.
My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? No.
This half hour documentary has Law talking about his early days leading up to becoming an actor and through his first few films ending with BARBARELLA (1968) and DANGER: DIABOLIK (1968). That's the audio. What plays behind it are Law's home movies showing him in various places like at his home in Hollywood and then in Italy. In those you get a glimpse of quite a few celebrities which adds a neat factor. There's not much time spent here to really get into the movies but Law gives us enough to satisfy and he's talking about the films he's most famous for. THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD (1973) is briefly mentioned. After that his film career is filled with lesser known stuff. Law fans will naturally need to see this but it's also worth a look for those into genre pictures as there's plenty said about BARBARELLA, DANGER: DIABOLIK and DEATH RIDES A HORSE (1967). Law died soon after making this documentary, which he also produced.
