An interview with historian and documentary filmmaker Simon Sheridan
By Adrian Smith
In June 2020 Screenbound are releasing a limited edition Blu-ray box set in the U.K. dedicated to the films of one of Britain’s most celebrated and tragic erotic film stars, Mary Millington. Historian Simon Sheridan has spent years researching her life (his book Come Play with Me: The Life and Films of Mary Millington was published in 1999) and has overseen this new collection.
Cinema Retro: How did you begin this lifelong quest to tell Mary Millington’s story? When did you first discover her?
Simon Sheridan: I’m not sure I can tell you this story! I was a curious schoolboy. I happened upon some porn mags when I was a young boy. It wasn’t in a bush, but someone...

Iannucci’s film, which launched at Toronto 2019, marks the ninth time Dickens’ 1849 book David Copperfield has been reproduced on screen. It takes its name from the novel’s full title,...

The story of the chart-topping 70s Merseyside band delivers a charmingly recounted piece of pop history
Simon Sheridan’s solid, efficient documentary pays tribute to the Liverpudlian pop-soul beat combo the Real Thing, who had a No 1 in the UK with the smooth-grooving ballad You to Me Are Everything. That close-harmony mid-tempo jam from 1976, still a popular choice for wedding playlists and karaoke declarations of love, remains the group’s biggest claim to fame alongside their big-issue comment Children of the Ghetto and the disco-fied Star Wars cash-in Can You Feel the Force? But there is enough heft to the rest of their musical story and personal histories to make for an absorbing, considered feature-length documentary assembled out of the usual bricolage of talking-heads interviews with surviving members and friends, archive footage, and pop videos. As a package, it cross-references social history with musicology, making a tidy and touching tribute...
