Showtime Airing Beach Boys' 'Smile'
LOS ANGELES - "Smile," the Brian Wilson album that was
famously unheard by the public for nearly 40 years, will be
the subject of a Showtime documentary.
"Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson and the Story of Smile" is
in production and will debut Oct. 5 on Showtime, the channel
announced this week.
The film will include interviews with Wilson, the Beach Boys'
creative genius, and footage of February's triumphant "Smile"
debut concert in London.
"'Smile' is the most important piece of music that I ever
composed, and I'm thrilled that Showtime feels so strongly
about it that they are going to let me tell the story of 'Smile'
in this film," Wilson said in a release.
"Smile" was to follow the Beach Boys' groundbreaking 1966
album "Pet Sounds." After carefully crafting the album's
multilayered sound, Wilson shelved it shortly before its
scheduled 1967 release. He said the songs were "not
commercial."
Over the years, "Smile" gained a reputation among fans as the
band's lost masterpiece and was hailed by critics at its London
debut.
