Phil Spector (2013 TV Movie)
Pacino as Spector ... or Harpo?
25 March 2013
My goodness! I turned this on halfway thru the movie and frankly I couldn't tell you what it was about because I was immediately and constantly distracted by Al Pacino in all those wigs. I mean really, at one point, with his bulging eyes and fright wig he looked exactly like Harpo Marx! To be honest tho, Helen Mirren's wig was pretty bad too, and her accent, whatever it was supposed to be, was very odd.

When the audience is more concerned with the characters' hair than with the story, you know something is really wrong.

Al Pacino as Phil Spector is one of the worst casting decisions ever made, even worse than casting John Wayne as Genghis Khan.
