Yes, that scene in which Little Walter pulls out a gun, walks up to someone, shoots him, and then rides away in a Cadillac with Muddy Waters at the wheel, is part of what I referred to above as "complete and ludicrous fiction," as is the scene of Etta James and Leonard Cohen having (badly simulated) sex on the floor of her nearly-empty house. Oh yeah, and then there's the incredibly melodramatic scene of Leonard, having just sold the Chess label, packing up his office, filling his car with boxes, and as he pulls away from the front of the building he has a massive heart attack and dies on the spot. Timing is everything?
Makes one wonder why they completely ignored/failed to include *real* shootings, such as Howlin' Wolf/Hubert Sumlin?
