Movie review - "Molly: The Real Thing" (2016) ***

 Joyous, loving tribute to the life of a beloved Aussie icon - a man who was good enough as a record producer to make it internationally but stayed local, and became one of the most admired people in the country with his brains and genuine love of music keeping him on the cutting edge. Very Melbournian in a way, which his dagginess, love of sport, family orientated, hanging out with Warnie and the Foxes (Lindsay moons at the end)  - the cocaine probs would have got him in Sydney.

Big array of talking heads. Some make more sense than most (Paul Hogan). Delta Goodrem's love for him is touching. No Molly, or his son, but his brother.

A number of the interviewees are now dead - Michael Gudinski, Shane Warne.
