Peter Whitehead makes his directorial debut after serving as a consultant and advisor on the film
Born Free. Charlie Is My Darling is a documentary that follows the British rock and roll group
The Rolling Stones on a two-day tour of Ireland. The title comes from a comment from an admiring female fan about drummer Charlie Watts. Other band members at the time included
Mick Jagger, Keith Richard, Brian Jones, and Bill Wyman. Jones died in 1969, presumably from drowning in a drug-induced stupor in his swimming pool after leaving (or being ousted from) the band. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
