Boy George has made more than a few headlines, but the years before his Top of the Pops debut in 1982 are less well-known. Living in a squat, attending the Blitz Club, falling in and out of love - Worried About the Boy is a compassionate portrait of a much-loved icon.

I was never a huge Culture Club fan, but have been a fan of the New Romantic/Blitz scene since I read about it in the early 80's. I was able to download a copy of this program and found it pretty enjoyable if not 100% accurate. Well worth watching once.

Agree it is well worth watching even if you are not a Boy George fan...although George disagrees it is 100% accurate.

Quite a few surprises and if you love the Blitz Kids you will love this film. Sort of disappointed while Bowie was very much a part of the story line, he is the only portrayal you don't get to see. He my not have given his permission for his likeness.

They do a pretty good job with the actors who portray the artists from that period. If anything watch is just for the scene with Malcolm McLaren.

This should be really cool. I also love watching documentaries about the New Romantic scene. I wonder if the picture shown on Amazon is the actual cover of the dvd. Pretty cool picture in my opinion. Are there other dvd's out that talk about the New Romantic scene?
