UPDATE (May 13)
Just came back from the first-ever screening of the documentary, A.K.A. Doc Pomus at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema as part of the Toronto Jewish Film Festival.
What a great film.
It did an excellent job of capturing the spirit of Doc’s life (as well as the music and the stories. I found it really did prove a quote by Doc’s biographer, Alex Halberstadt that Doc “was literally the most beloved person I’d ever come across”. Very moving, and highly recommended. Not sure when or where you’ll be able to catch it. See www.akadocpomus.com.
My older article about Doc and a short biography of his life is posted here.
Watch the film’s trailer:
