Next movie on the list for me to watch was the NBC TV movie Temptations. I knew of one scene from this movie and loved the group but had no idea they went through so many different members and drama and health issues. I mean, damn! This movie had everything. Perms. Do wop. Drinking. Devil's dandruff. Arthritis. Alcohol abuse. Suicide. I enjoyed this movie but you could totally tell that this was written from one persons point of view. I was online looking at all the different band members and getting all into their personal business. As fucked up as they seemed at certain points during this three hour epic they were way worse in real life. If this had been on cable or made today it would be one of the messiest movies. I also didn't remember what the band members looked like it real life so I couldn't complain about no one looking like who they were playing. The music, of course, was the best part of this along with Ruffin's performance. I would watch an entire movie about this crazy bastard. It would be like if Ike Turner had his own movie. Even the way they show his death is so disrespectful. They just show him dumped out of a car dead in front of a hospital like “Byyyyye...” This was told and made by Otis so he gets the most screen time even though it seems like Blue was there a lot. Blue dies off screen after eating dinner and rolling out of the room.
