Bad Company: The Official Authorised 40th Anniversary Documentary

Scoring huge transatlantic success in the 1970s, British blues-rock supergroup Bad Company once shared a manager, a record label and a debauched reputation with Led Zeppelin. Narrated by the surviving band members, plus famous friends including Queen guitarist Brian May, director Jon Brewer’s career-spanning documentary is fairly straight but greatly entertaining. Going beyond banal promotional exercise, it gives appropriate space to the dumb excesses, overblown egos and disastrous business decisions alongside the band’s platinum-selling, stadium-filling triumphs.
