Recorded this the other week and had a mamoth watch of it on sunday really sad film, and you never know what goes on 'behind' the scenes, David Ruffin was a shock to me :yes: .......But what a F**KIN voice he has :yes:

My grandad popped in half way through part 2, some one was playing a violin, "you dont see the darkies playing a violin! all they can do is blow there jungle music out of trumpets" :P i grunted and carried on watching. :P

If you have a Morrisons supermarket near you they had the Temps dvd for a couple of quid in their dvd/cd baskets. There's also a couple of Northern cds & a nice Mod one (all original artists, no modernised versions) for a couple quid too!

agree with you Baz, David Ruffin (listen to his Motown albums, especially the first 2 and last one - 'In My Stride') had a fantastic voice....alas, flawed genius like most are.

Ray was on last night. Superb film, like the bit where his wife discovers he's on heroin and keeps going on at him and says "Ray you've got to stop"! To which he replies "I ain't gotta do a god damn thing"! thumbsup.gif

The Five Heartbeats is the best of the lot...

I'm with Pete on this one...great movie an act of fiction but really touches on the struggle artists had way back with 'Big Red' the dodgy record company owner which it must have been like, knocking seven shades out of a singer and dangled him out of a two story window because he asked for his money!!!! A fantastic movie which i'm sure The Dell's advised on???

Nah I don't agree.

The Five Heartbeats may have had a good story line but that was about it. The production was flawed and it all seemed strung together trying to fit it all in the alloted time frame.

It was obviously low budget and un-fortunately that told, I enjoyed some elements of it but for me The Temptations rides far above it.

It had a huge budget as it came out of a major studio you silly sod. You just think The Temptations are some kind of gods. They were nothing special.

They were a bit spesh imo, Ruffin vocal - my girl ... the way you do the things etc. The dancing. Biggest selling male group at Motown - they had it all.

Just because it came out of a major studio does not dictate that it had a huge budget.

If in fact it did have huge budget it didn't bloody show did it?

Have you actually see this film? Where are you getting the low budget thing from? It's anything but.

Yeah of course I've seen it.

To me the film had the feel of a low budget film. It didn't have the polish of something with a higher budget or perhaps better production values.

Its only my opinion after all but to me it screams low budget.
