LAMBERT STAMP

LAMBERT & STAMP

Director James D. Cooper / 2014 / USA

The story of how two spirited young men with no clue about rock ‘n' roll helped create The Who.

Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp were filmmakers. They had no desire to manage a rock band. But a new culture was brewing in London, and happenstance saw them cross paths with The High Numbers. With no experience or connections, but plenty of passion and inventiveness, they helped sculpt the wild image of the band that soon became The Who. And they filmed it all.

Via priceless archival footage and revelatory interviews with the major players, director James D Cooper recreates the birth of mod culture through the dapper duo forever linked to Townshend, Daltrey, Entwistle and Moon.

Lambert & Stamp is not only an essential document of rock's most explosive act, but also an eyewitness view of a pivotal counterculture.

"A definitive screen bio of the band and its rock-operatic rise." – Variety
