Charlie Is My Darling (1965)
With The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts
Directed by Peter Whitehead
Charlie Is My Darling, directed by Peter Whitehead and produced by the Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham, was the first documentary film about the Rolling Stones. Intended as a screen test for the band, to see how their musical charisma would translate into film, the footage was shot during the band's second tour of Ireland on 3 and 4 September 1965, and was finished in the spring of 1966. It was given its premiere at the Mannheim Film Festival in October 1966. But the film was never officially released, due to the legal fights between the Rolling Stones and Allen Klein and a burglary in Oldham's office, which saw all prints disappear.
