Yeah, agree a very watchable film. Didn't it also capture Ruffin gatecrashing the groups gigs mid flow after he'd "gone solo"? Which I did read about somewhere....Steve

Top Film once you get pass the bad dubbing, its taken from the mini series.. get a copy of that its excellant.. well worth watching..

I remember I saw one, must be the same. It's divided in two parts, isn't it?

It was good, I think Smokey Robinson does a little part...

Agreed its a great film, only word of caution though is its based on Otis Williams book which I thought was very poorly written and very obviously one sided making him out to be a saint that other commentators have disputed. He was not kind to Edwards or Ruffins repuation which again depending on who you listen to he was a bit harsh on them because they didnt rate him.

However a decent fictional representation of one of the worlds greatest groups that was blessed to have two of the worlds greatest singers as members, not many can say that!!

"My name is David Ruffin, and these are the Temptations"

Enjoyable, but very one sided in its viewpoint.

That explains a lot, like the credits rolling part way through

Always liked the Temps, but they were so popular I didnt really ever attempt to learn much about them. So seeing people in the movie like Jonnie Mae Mathews made me sit up straight.

Was Maxine, Maxine Brown??

By the end I was beginning to get a little annoyed at how myopic the story was in favour of Otis, and against the others but that didnt stop it being a very enjoyable few hours this morning. Oh yeah, mine was 50p from Sue Ryder.

Was in two parts on Sky.... can't remember which channel but they showed both parts directly after each other....

Did record both parts at the time but as they were shown as "veiwed" in the Planner our lass deleted them to free up space ....

Not half - one of my favourite films of all time and another one I foolishly offered to copy for someone and ended up doing about 25 copies a few years back.
