	Guardian Unlimited Arts reviews Rigoletto
		When David McVicar's production of Rigoletto opened last year, it was greeted by squawks of protest in certain illiberal circles.
		Rigoletto, swirling about on crutches after the fashion of Anthony Sher's Richard III and decked out in a fetishistic leather carapace, looks like a monstrous parasitic insect.
		Rigoletto is played by Carlos Alvarez, handsome enough to be plausibly suspected of keeping a mistress, and vocally gritty.

	Amazon.co.uk: Verdi: Rigoletto [2002]: DVD
		One of the principal reasons is McVicar's decision to emphasise the tyrannical nature of the Duke (beautifully sung by Marcelo Alvarez), and the appalling social injustice that springs from a corrupt leader: his court is a place of physical and sexual abuse (graphically, but by no means gratuitously, depicted).
		On the DVD Rigoletto comes with an entertaining 17-minute BBC biography of the composer, "Verdi Through the Looking Glass", presented by conductor Charles Hazlewood, as well as an illustrated synopsis of the opera, and a revealing 10-minute interview with the director.
		Michael Vale's set is a masterpiece of economy--both the Duke's palace and Rigoletto's home are surrounded by broken objects, wire fencing and gloomy shadows--and Edward Downes draws some stunning playing from the Royal Opera Orchestra.

	VH1.com : Roger Daltrey : Biography
		During the Who's post-Keith Moon era, Daltrey co-produced and starred in the film McVicar, a biography of train robber John McVicar; members of the Who appeared on its soundtrack, which essentially served as a full-fledged Daltrey album and found him bridging the gap between hard rock and the pop songs of his earlier solo work.
		In addition to the Who's 1989 reunion tour, Daltrey has since continued to act in occasional television and film roles, as well as releasing the solo album Rocks in the Head in 1992.
		Over time, Daltrey developed into one of rock's most powerful lead vocalists, a position to which he staked his claim on the Who's 1971 masterpiece Who's Next; his onstage persona was one of macho swagger, accompanied by such antics as twirling his microphone like a lasso.

	McVicar - Roger Daltrey, Adam Faith, Cheryl Campbell, Billy Murray, Georgina Hale, Steven Berkoff, Tom Clegg - 1980
		Thanks also to the sterling direction of Tom Clegg, who brought a real sense of realism to the film thanks to his background of directing TV episodes of THE SWEENEY and a first rate supporting cast (The late Adam Faith, Steven Berkoff, Cheryl Campbell), MCVICAR is well worth a look.
		The concept of pop star as actor is frowned upon and indeed, with the failure of GIGLI and SWEPT AWAY, it is a concept that will ocntinue to be embraced by film fans who won't allow cinema to be undermined by people who think they have more talent than they can spare.
		As with the best prison films, which paint a balance of cell life with none of the cuteness that occasionally occured with shows like PORRIDGE, although the representation of prison life was reasonable, there are no punches pulled.

	McVicar - Roger Daltrey, Adam Faith, Cheryl Campbell, Billy Murray, Georgina Hale, Steven Berkoff, Tom Clegg - 1980
		Daltrey's vocals are used extensively to colour the film and the viewer is left in no doubt as to the director's sympathies.
		Roger Daltrey succeeds in making John McVicar appear to be a decent family man despite his hard-man antics.
		Based on a true story, the most interesting parts of the movie are the escape of McVicar from High Security Prison while a rock piece sounds on the back, and the assault of the bank, brief but consistent.

	Roger Daltrey : McVicar - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Daltrey, who starred in the film and co-produced it, sings on eight of the ten tracks.
		McVicar was Roger Daltrey's highest charting non-Who project, and for a simple reason: it sounds a lot like The Who.
		Though it is billed as an "Original Soundtrack Recording," McVicar is in effect a Roger Daltrey solo album.

	Roger Daltrey - McVicar: Original Soundtrack Recording @ Soundbug
		The Soundtrack of the Film that was Used as a Vehicle for Roger Daltrey's Acting Career, his First Major Non-musical Starring Role.
		Consequently, this is the soundtrack to the movie of the same name; it's said that Roger's performance as John McVicar is also his greatest acting role.
		It's sad how most of Roger's solo career was a joke, since he made horrible decisions about which material to record and with whom to work, coupled with how he didn't seem to be able to find a unique voice for himself as a solo artist.
