The Sapphires - 2012 - 6/10

Feel good rubbish, “inspired” by actual events.
I enjoyed this while I watched it, but afterward started dwelling on it.
The oldest girl looked old - the actress was in her 40’s.
Who was that white Irish guy who supposedly found and managed the group? Phil Spector?
(Chris O’Dowd perfect casting as sleazo manager.)
Since when did the war department carry entertainers into Vietnam active combat zones?
Oh, I forgot, “inspired by.”
Which means any fantasy will suffice.
Nice music, but otherwise this is a fairytale.
