Movie review - "The Great Rock n Roll Swindle" (1980) ***

 Banger soundtrack. If you don't like the music you don't go for the film. The movie is a mess. But there's always something going on - fun animation, Steve Jones as a detective, Malcolm McLaren claiming credit for everything and hanging out with a little person, Sid Vicious full of dark charisma, Johnny Rotten glimpsed but still a thrill, Edward Tenpole as someone who should've been the front man for good. Packs a kick at the end with reports of the deaths of Sid and Nancy.
