A showman at the piano, and a controversial romancer in his personal life, rock `n` roll great Jerry Lee Lewis is certainly an exciting figure. Legendary music documentarian D.A. Pennebaker (DON`T LOOK BACK, MONTEREY POP) takes a look at this rock pioneer, interweaving full-length performances with headlines detailing Lewis`s fame and eventual plummet into a scandal spurred by his marriage to his 13-year-old cousin, Myra Gail Brown. Performances--with his usual breathtaking acrobatics and choreography--include Great Balls of Fire, Jailhouse Rock, Hound Dog, Whole Lotta Shakin, and many more.
