Best thing about the really truly good B&H documentary: No talking heads! It was all archival footage with voiceovers, thanks to the obsessive filming of Boyce & Hart! It gets my highest recommendation!

@Cheri Pi: I always thought that, like Children's Day, every day is WFMU Day. (But I know what you mean, with the sumptuous serving of Primavera to come today.)
