D.O.A.: A Right of Passage - DVD

D.O.A. A RIGHT OF PASSAGE is the ground-breaking classic InchrockumentaryInch about the origin of punk rock. Centered around the S*x Pistols 1978 tour of the United States which ended with the group breaking up, the tour was the only one the Pistols played in the United States. Director Lech Kowalski (East of Paradise) followed the band with handheld cameras through the clubs and bars of their seven-city U.S. tour. Mixing this with footage of other contemporary bands, trends in the fashion capitals and punks of all shapes and colors, Kowalski captured a grainy, stained snapshot of the punk movement at it's peak (which includes the now famous footage of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen in bed) along with rare interview and concert footage of the late seventies punk rock music scene. With live performances by the S*x Pistols, The Dead Boys, Generation X (with Billy Idol), The Rich Kids, the X-Ray Spex, and Sham 69, along with additional music from The Clash, Iggy Pop, this iconic documentary is now available for the first time ever on disc!

Frank Bigelow (Edmond O'Brien) walks into a police station to report his own murder. The police seem to have been expecting him and already know him. Frank begins to have a flashback, recalling that he had decided to take an over-due holiday from his job as an accountant. After a night on the town in San Francisco, Frank wakes up not feeling well. Doctors confirm that he has been poisoned with a toxin. With only a few days left to live, Frank sets out on a frenzied quest to find who has murdered him and why. Frank recalls being at a nightclub and his drink tasting strangely. Unnoticed by Frank, a stranger has swapped drinks with him. But why? Pamela Britton (Paula Gibson) Frank's fiancée, provides the first clue. A man named Eugene Phillips, had been urgently trying to contact Bigelow just before Phillips suddenly dies. This is a really great 'Who Done It' film. A real classic! (80 minutes - 1950 - B/W - 4 3).
