Content:
Called a monumental achievement by the Los Angeles Times, Company is the extraordinary documentary capturing the explosive recording session for Stephen Sondheim's landmark musical. On May 3, 1970, just a few days after its triumphant Broadway opening, the cast of Company gathered to record the Original Cast Album. Over the course of a grueling 18 1/2 hour marathon session, acclaimed filmmaker D A Pennebaker (The War Room, Dont Look Back) captured the stress, the frustration, the exhaustion and ultimately the exhilaration of the creative process. From the jubilance of the opening number to Dean Jones' grumblings at 3 a.m. that he can't spit let alone sing to the high drama of Elaine Stritch's attempts to nail The Ladies Who Lunch, Company is an electric mix of short fuses with brilliant concentration. Since its debut at the New York Film Festival, where a riot squad was called in to quell the outraged turnaways who couldn't get into the theatre, Company has continued to arouse crowds with its remarkable fly-on-the-wall look at first rate talent performing the hits from the legendary Broadway show.
