You and me both. Thanks for the heads up.

It is on Netflix in the UK - so probably also in the US

So far I've watched about half of it and I am really enjoying it

Mark Rubenstein | 1510 comments We put time aside last night to watch it on Netflix. A very wise move, as it happens. Really enjoyed the film a whole hell of a lot. The pacing was well handled, covering a massive amount of turf without pausing too long on any one specific patch. And, of course, Danny Fields himself was great -- a brilliant and engaging raconteur, with more tales to tell than most people.

I echo all that you've said there Mark. Danny is an inspiration. Following his instincts all the way down the line, and what instincts he has. He was incredibly perceptive and prescient.
