Bailey on

Synopsis
Three documentaries commissioned by Lew Grade for ITV between 1968 and 1971, and directed by the acclaimed photographer David Bailey. Bailey was given unprecedented access to his subjects - photographer Cecil Beaton, Italian film director Luchino Visconti and pop art legend Andy Warhol. The latter documentary was infamously banned by the Appeal Court at the last minute following a complaint about its content by Ross McWhirter.

DVD extras include new interview with David Bailey talking about the making of all three documentaries; booklet of the originally designed transcripts for BAILEY ON ANDY WARHOL.
