Career-spanning retrospective look at one of country music's most familiar icons; the gravel-voiced seller of fried chicken himself, Mr. Kenny Rogers. From Rogers' earliest days in showbiz as a member of folk singing group The New Christy Minstrels, through his days as a psychedelic hippie in his band The First Edition to his final rebirth as a be-suited country troubadour, this documentary covers it all. Known to many only for hits such as 'Lucille' 'Coward of the County' and his big duet with Dolly Parton 'Islands in the Stream' there's a lot more to Kenny Rogers, one of country music's most successful solo artists ever. As well as owning a chain or ribs n' chicken shops that give Colonel Sanders a run for his money, he's co-written hits with Lionel Ritchie, The Bee Gees and many more. Concert footage is interspersed with comments from Kenny himself and some industry heavyweights he's worked with over the years.
A German-language film loosely based on the 1883 operetta Eine Nacht in Venedig (A Night in Venice) by Johann Strauss II. The film was also made into separate Hungarian-language version Egy éj Velencében based on the same screenplay. The two versions were shot simultaneously. The Hungarian version was co-directed by Wiene and Géza von Cziffra and used a separate cast of Hungarian actors. From Wikipedia.
In 1974, Muhammad Ali and George Foreman held their heavyweight title fight in Zaire, billing it as the "Rumble in the Jungle". A three-day music festival was staged concurrently, and B.B.

King: Live in Africa '74 presents the man at the peak of his powers, as a performer and as a player.

Massenet's opera centres on its charming but contrary heroine, the vivacious young Manon who longs for luxury and excitement. We first encounter her en route to a convent, where her family are sending her to be educated. Along the way, she falls in love with the young student Des Grieux, and, impetuously, runs off with him. She soon leaves him, however, to become the mistress of a rich nobleman. Thus begins her descent into criminality and depravity, all too soon dragging the besotted Des Grieux with her, until she is imprisoned. Despite its tragic story, the opera is full of French charm and vitality – typified by the ambiguous Manon herself. Her plight is touching because of the subtle play of innocence and calculation in her character. The score contains many sparkling arias and ensembles, moving rapidly from moods of exuberance to tenderness, with perfect dramatic timing. Recorded live at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin, April/May 2007.
