Denbo Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Accidentally stumbled across Part 2 of this biopic. Part 3 is next (obviously), presumably next Saturday night (or was it Sunday, bugger me, can't remember now?). Anyhow, it was on channel 24, I'm sure of it. Careful though, 'cos some rather raunchy soft porno programme came on after it finished. I'd gone to play some records in another room, really got into the mood after watching the biopic, when my youngest lad came in and asked what the hell did I have on telly in the back room, with a big grin on his face. So, well worth watching out for next weekend. The Temptations biopic that is. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Is this the one from about 6 years ago? You can get the whole thing on a real low budget priced dvd, well you used to be able to. Superb. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Superb. Don't know when it was released Pete but it didn't look brand new or that old, so maybe you're right. Just did some research and it was on Movies 24 from 8.30 to 10.30pm Sunday 14th December. I thought it was finished at 9.30 so obviously missed the last part. Think I might go searching for the DVD. Yes, it was superb. Great clothes. And of course, that 60's style!!!

Kris Holmes Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Yes it's a great film, better than the Jacksons one IMO. I love the scene where the Ruffins are doing "Shout" at the Motown xmas party, killer, also the Speedos "Cadillac" at the start is fire. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest bazabod_downunder Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Here's a scan of the insert......you may be right, it has some soundtrack by The Dells as well as Patti Labelle amongst othere.

Robert Townsend wrote produced and directed The Five Heartbeats and went on tour with the Dells before making the film. The Dells influence is seen in the film giving it a realistic feel to life on the road but they kept their line up intact for forty years. The Five Heartbeats is a disguised biography of The Temptations. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Hi Chalky, If you find that 'spare' let me know, I'll take it off your hands for 97p. Seriously, I haven't had time to locate a copy yet, even though I've been given enough pointers.
