The Rolling Stones: Charlie is My Darling

麻豆社 Two presents the first TV broadcast of the never before officially released film, The Rolling Stones: Charlie is my Darling, which captures the band on tour in Ireland in 1965.

As part of the celebration of the Rolling Stones' 50th Anniversary, 麻豆社 Two presents the first TV broadcast of this legendary but never before officially released film, The Rolling Stones: Charlie is my Darling.

The film marked the cinematic debut of the band, following them on a quick weekend tour of Ireland in 1965 just weeks after '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' topped the charts and became the international anthem for an entire generation. Charlie is my Darling is an intimate, behind-the-scenes diary of life on the road with the young Rolling Stones, featuring the first professionally filmed concert performances of the band's long and storied touring career, documenting the early frenzy of their fans and the riots their live performances incited. The film also captures the band's formative period, capturing early song-writing sessions and featuring candid, off-the-cuff interviews with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Brian Jones and Bill Wyman.

This new 65 minute version was developed by producer Robin Klein and director Mick Gochanaur after researching and locating additional film footage shot by Whitehead and uncovering a source of first generation audio recordings of the band's concert performances. Painstaking work was done on restoring the footage to come up with the new film that offers a coherent narrative and gives the viewer unprecedented access to the Rolling Stones' original line-up.
