Charlie Is My Darling: Ireland 1965

The first of several projects the Rolling Stones undertook with director Peter Whitehead, Charlie Is My Darling is “a backstage musical that follows the band on a short Irish tour. . . . Whitehead creates mosaics of casually spontaneous observations of unguarded [offstage] moments. But the film’s desultory progress among fans and musicians is galvanized in their performances, where the boys and a couple of girls invade the stage before the security manages to rescue the musicians” (David E. James). In 2012 additional footage from the Stones’ Irish tour was discovered, which director Mick Gochanour and producer Robin Klein used to create this expanded, sync sound version.
