A TRIBUTE TO JIM MORRISON is a full exploration of the controversial and quixotic singer, delving into his fascination with cinema and psychology, mysticism and sexuality, poetry and power. In addition to performance clips of the band in action, it features interviews with all of the surviving members of the Doors and many others who were instrumental in creating and maintaining the legend, from record producer Paul Rothchild to biographers Danny Sugerman and Jerry Hopkins (on whose best-seller, NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE, the program is based). Also featured are segments from some of the radically experimental promotion films made by the Doors, whose music was influential even upon such contemporary movie-makers as Francis Coppola (who opened his APOCALYPSE NOW with "The End"). More than a simple rock band documentary, A TRIBUTE TO JIM MORRISON is a profile of one of the most fascinating and complicated artistic minds of his generation.

A look back at the 60's, and a glimpse into the life of rock's bad boy Jim Morrison, this hour long tape is based on the Danny Sugerman/Jerry Hopkins bio, "No One Here Gets Out Alive". The authors are interviewed extensively, as well as producer Paul Rothchild, and the other Doors: John Densmore, drums, Robbie Krieger, guitar, and Ray Manzarek, keyboards. This is a rough sketch of Morrison's life, with many gaps (for instance, there is not even a still shot of Pamela Curson, who he called his "cosmic mate"), but is nonetheless interesting. He comes off in the interviews as totally spaced, and somewhat the naive innocent...a child in a gorgeous man's body, which with the added lure of stardom, must have presented some gigantic problems. By contrast, the other 3 Doors seem down to earth, and serious...and while they were busy making music, Morrison was experimenting with life itself, even to go as far as sometimes messing up the performances. He "packed 50 years of living" in 27 years, and left us a sizable musical and poetic legacy. The song clips include "Back Door Man" and "Crawling Kingsnake". From the Ed Sullivan Show: "People are Strange" and "Light my Fire". The clip from Apocalypse Now that uses "The End" in its soundtrack. And shown in their entirety are "Moonlight Drive" and "Touch Me". The tape ends with this quote from 1969: "Let's just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That's all it was: Just curiosity".
