I recently restarted my Netflix subscription because Netflix has a pretty good film vault. My only other options would be having to buy these lesser known films. Fortunately Netflix does have it and I finally got around to renting it. Strange movie indeed. Not for everyone. I am sure my wife hated it. I was afraid to ask her. It is fast moving and awkward, but does tell a story about a recording engineer, song-writer, producer, etc that I never knew about other than knowing the hit song "Telstar" (which I like). From a modern pop music perspective, it does give an insight into one aspect of this musical culture. No big time recording studio was used. If anything, it was probably worse than what most of us on the forum have. Also interesting is at the end of the movie is shows what happened to everyone. There were a couple big surprises there for me that I was not aware of while watching the movie.
My biggest complaint was I could not get sub-titles. I don't believe the DVD offered it. It would have helped at times.
