On one level, it's a fairly shabby Southern city with a touristy, almost tacky overlay. But beneath the overlay is something vital, something intimately acquainted with living and dying, that marketing cannot long disguise or distort. New Orleans has a gut-level mythic quality, a resonance unique among American cities. Always For Pleasure amplifies that resonance. --David Armstrong, Berkeley Barb

Why doesn't the imdb listing mention that the Neville Brothers, The Meters, The Wild Tchoupitoulas and Mick Jagger all appear in it? That would undoubtedly attract more attention to the documentary and improve sales.

"Always For Pleasure" is one of the best films on New Orleans ever. I was so glad to see it out on DVD.

This film is an amazing document. I used to recommend it as an antidote to suicidal thoughts, but in any case i hope it survives as a testament to the best in humanity.
