    An enormously entertaining documentary that uses the colorful producer as an eager surrogate to breeze through a half-century of iconic Hollywood and pop music history

    When everyone behind the camera is an admirer, including Ocean's director Steven Soderbergh, the doc's exec producer, then you won't get much introspection. But, boy, do you get stories told with the vivid sense of drama and imagery that old Homer would no doubt admire.

    The indulgence gets annoying, even as the basic details are fascinating and fun, as are the seductive testimony settings. You gotta love the fantasy of all those swank joints and modern mansions.
