Good fun: colorful celebrity interviews plus the unveiling of the Lemmy statue!

Compact documentary at 71mns chronicling life at the Whisky-a-Go-Go nightclub and the nearby Rainbow Bar & Grill (formerly Villa Nova) on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, both owned and operated by Mario Maglieri, "The Pope of the Sunset Strip". Lots of rich and wonderful history at both hot spots sadly leads to the depressing present day, with skinhead bands starting riots, gunshots ringing out and trashcans being thrown. Some may say, "that's just rock 'n roll." Nevertheless, Mario (who passed way in 2017, leaving his son and grandson to run both businesses) is a character you wouldn't want to miss: tough-talking but fatherly, he looked after the guys on the bottom as well as counselling the hard-partying stars at the top. **1/2 from ****
