Documental sobre la famosa cantante británica Amy Winehouse, que cuenta con imágenes inéditas de archivo y entrevistas con la malograda estrella, que murió en julio del 2011 a los veintisiete años de edad por parada cardíaca a consecuencia de sus excesos con las drogas y el alcohol, adicciones agravadas por su bulimia. Amy Winehouse, ganadora de seis Premios Grammy, se vio desde muy joven afectada por el divorcio de sus padres. Tenía un talento natural para el jazz y el soul y una voz prodigiosa que pronto la convirtió en una estrella mundial a pesar de lanzar sólo dos discos; pero la fama, la prensa sensacionalista, los intereses de la industria -y de su entorno- y su turbulento amor con el que fue su marido, Blake Fielder-Civil, la condujeron finalmente a su trágico destino en su piso de Camden, Londres.

In 1964, when the New York Mets were regarded as little more than a punch line in major league baseball, the team moved into a brand new ballpark, Shea Stadium, which was to become their home for the next forty-four years. Shea Stadium was closed (in part to create more parking space for a new stadium, Citi Field), and on July 16 and 18, 2008, Billy Joel headlined the final concerts held at the stadium. Filmmaker Paul Crowder and a camera crew were on hand for Joel's shows, and the documentary THE LAST PLAY AT SHEA chronicles his historic two-night stand, as well as exploring Joel's career, his ties to working-class New York, and how his life and career paralleled the growth of suburban Long Island and the beloved ballpark.

Writer-director Charlotte Zwerin performs sleight of hand with this beautifully composed documentary, originally produced for public television's American Masters series. Created nearly four years after Ella Fitzgerald's death, Zwerin's film uses the lush voice and superb repertoire of "the First Lady of Song" to provide continuity while assembling convincing, if composite, narrative quotes gleaned from various interviews. The latter are noteworthy given the singer's lifelong modesty and insistence on privacy.

The most glittering, expensive, and exhausting videotaping session in television history took place Friday February 19, 1982 at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The event, for which ticket-buyers payed up to $1,000 a seat (tax-deductible as a contribution to the Actors' Fund) was billed as "The Night of 100 Stars" but, actually, around 230 stars took part. And most of the audience of 5,800 had no idea in advance that they were paying to see a TV taping, complete with long waits for set and costume changes, tape rewinding, and the like. Executive producer Alexander Cohen estimated that the 5,800 Radio City Music Hall seats sold out at prices ranging from $25 to $1,000. The show itself cost about $4 million to produce and was expected to yield around $2 million for the new addition to the Actors Fund retirement home in Englewood, N. J.
