Lambert, Hendricks & Co.

An interesting and well paced short documentary that takes place at an RCA recording studio featuring a vocal group called Lambert, Hendricks and Company.

Brief and shot in a confined area, Richard Leacock's photography works wonders breathing life into the highly competent vocal groups audition with some acrobatic camera movement while director Pennebaker divides and edits between set and sound room. The group makes a game effort that doesn't exactly set things off with the sober producers and while they fail to create fireworks it may not be due to their lack of talent but their musical genre choice, about to be swamped by the era of Rock.
