I saw an early screening of ATMP about a year ago at the Arclight theaters in Hollywood, with the film makers and Russ Solomon himself there, in a great Q&A after the movie. --Very good doc., though I was a just a bit disappointed and perplexed by the lack of mention of Tower's competition in the 70's and 80's, especially The Wherehouse record chain, as well as Licorice Pizza, etc. That competition was at least one of the important factors that contributed to Tower's eventual downfall. --Granted, I'm biased, as I worked for Wherehouse records in the late 70's.
