    Limelight

    LIMELIGHT (the doc from 2011) was one of the most notorious night spots in N Y C in the late 60's and 70's regarding Canadian. Peter Gatien, entrepreneur, who opened a whole host of night and dance clubs during the disco dance craze. He must have owned some five clubs in NY, personally wealthy to unimaginable proportions. The scene became very controversial with drugs, booze, porn and god knows what else till he was prosecuted and deported back to Canada. This is quite the unbelievable doc of a specific time in history when society was literally going "bananas' and could not get enough of this crazed lifestyle now as far removed from us in 2015 as the stone age is. One can compare it to the "roaring twenties "gin joints" and dance clubs during prohibition. Nothing ever arose in New York that was as wild and uncontrolled. In fact the city, under Mayor Giuliani, a number of years later was cleaned up of all smut to such an extent that the city became unrecognizable. When I visit NYC today almost every vestige of a corrupt past is gone, gone, gone, Times Square now like a Disneyland whereas it used to be an area of nothing but pornography!
