The Rolling Stones Charlie is my Darling—Ireland 1965 presents a meticulously restored and fully-realized version of this first-ever, legendary, but never released film by pioneering filmmaker Peter Whitehead. Shot during a quick tour of Ireland just weeks after (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction hit #1 on the charts, The Rolling Stones Charlie is my Darling— Ireland 1965 is an intimate, behind-the-scenes diary of life on the road with the young Stones. The band is shown traveling through the Irish countryside by train; dashing from cabs to basement dressing rooms through screaming hordes of fans. Motel rooms host impromptu songwriting sessions and familiar classics are heard in their infancy as riff and lyric are united. The film also features the first professionally filmed concert performances of the band and documents the early frenzy of their fans and the riots the band’s appearances inspired. Like no other band, the Rolling Stones repeatedly put themselves under the microscope, allowing the greatest filmmakers of our era— including Jean-Luc Godard, the Maysles, Robert Frank, Michael Lindsay-Hogg, Hal Ashby and Martin Scorsese— inside their world. Charlie is my Darling is the invaluable frame: the unseen story of the band becoming the legend.
