Proving that the Turtles were as vital to �60s pop as many better-known bands, this delightful 1991 documentary is blessed by the lively personalities of Turtles vocalists Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (a.k.a. �Flo & Eddie�), whose anecdotes (including memorable encounters with Bob Dylan and the Beatles) are as entertaining as the group�s enduring music. Interviews with bandmates reveal that the Turtles were genuinely �Happy Together,� enjoying their popularity without the ego hassles that plague so many bands. It wasn�t all fun and games, but even the �Lawsuits� chapter provides a hilarious primer on the hazards of rock & roll. Best of all, the Turtles� hits (including �She�s My Girl,� �Elenore,� and many more) are seamlessly combined with rare concert footage, TV appearances, and promotional films.
