AKA Doc Pomus - Chandler
Directors: Will Hechter and Peter Miller
Documentary - 98 minutes, English

Screening:
Harkins Chandler Crossroads 12 - Sun. Feb 17th, 3 PM

Nostalgia!  The 'fifties through the 'Eighties.  Go back to the sounds of movies you love, the lyrics you sang and understood, the music you danced tocheek to cheek.  For most, we loved the songs, but knew nothing of their creator.  Jerome Felder, already a legend in his own, tzuris to nachas (troubles to joy) life and time.  Lying behind an alias, Doc Pomus, was a childhood of poverty, polio and pain, humiliation, alienation and loneliness.   Ahead, out of that "pain" came "greatness" (words from brother Raoul's crushing meditation).  From a bittersweet man, with a musical genius mind, in a broken-wheelchair-imprisoned body, brought forth a rushing flood of his generation's greatest "hits."  The songs themselves, some bitter, some sweet, expressions of his experiences and emotions.  What emerged too was a Buddha-like, guru inspiring, influencing, and teaching his generations musicians, singers, even the industry itself.  AKA Doc Pomus is not your blown up Hollywood bio-pic; this is Cinema Veritas.  Music to the ears, amazing and moving to the eyes, so much to remember but never a musical film story with a da.
