A great movie, but...


...it makes Otis Williams appear as a saint, & it takes quite a few liberties with the storyline, including the fate of its members. For instance, the death of David Ruffin, who's depicted as having died while pushed out of a moving car, bloody nose & all. There's also Otis's treatment of Paul Williams, who appeared to be well enough to return to The Tempts after having kicked alcoholism. I'd like to hear the family members's side of the story. What's more, David, Eddie, Paul & Melvin are not alive to defend themselves, & had they still been alive as of 1998 (the year this movie was produced), this movie might never had been made. So, in spite of some inaccurate information, it's still a good movie, nevertheless!
