The Fabulous Allan Carr

What a pleasant and enjoyable discovery I watched on Amazon Prime Video! I had just completed another excellent documentary on Dominick Dunne (a personal favorite) "After the Party" and noticed this bio pic as a "customers also watched" item, and I am SO glad I did!

Like Mr. Carr, "Old Hollywood" actors and actresses and their respective lives and films have always been a source of enjoyment for me. As evidenced by this fondness, he found a way to include both the old AND the young in his production of the 61st Academy Awards in 1989 which sadly was panned by critics. I would actually love to see a rebroadcast. As one of this film's commentators wryly observed about that particular Oscars, parading the oldsters out was like saying "hey look I'm still alive!" or something to that effect which I thought was absolutely hilarious.

Additionally, I found Mr. Carr's various contributions to the world of entertainment fascinating and diverse. He would have been a delightful person to have as a friend and the film's interviewees lovingly expressed this sentiment as well.

I hope there is a book on his life as I would like to purchase it and add to my collection. Thank you, Mr. Solomon (a/k/a Allan Carr) and God bless. You share a birthday with another delightful person, my nephew Noah.
