Danny Collins is a comedy with a real family drama at the heart of it. It see's Pacino's Danny Collins, a one-hit wonder from decades previous, try to rekindle his relationship with his estranged son while also playing to sold-out crowds. You'll laugh and cry at it. But sadly it is an underseen Pacino film.
Now, on it's 10th anniversary (it was released March 2015), the inspiration behind the initial story of Danny Collins joins the podcast. English Singer-Songwriter Steve Tilston is the original Danny Collins. Well, sort of. He explains how the film came to be based on his much delayed letter from John Lennon, why he was so pleased to be involved and what it was like getting a hug from Al Pacino.
All About Al: The Pacino Podcast is written, presented and produced by Mark Searby.
