Plot Summary: blackly comical, musical biopic infused in the air of time – and terrible death – the British songwriter and take down Maverick director Joe Meek. Extravagant gay at a time when homosexuality was limited, dyeing relentlessly addictive psychedelic, wonderfully paranoid and obsessed with starless Hex, was Meek (Con O’Neill) for the 1960s chart-toppers including “I intended to stay, I blame the Right” “Just Like Eddie,” “Johnny Remember Me” and the groundbreaking “Telstar”. Kevin Spacey co-stars as ‘Major’ Wilfred Banks, the businessman, the excavations Meeks studio at 304 Holloway Road in north London bankrolls.
