Billy T - Te Movie

The chronicle of a Kiwi entertainment legend: sometime vice cop, Taranaki bandito, giggling newsreader and crooner Billy T James. The film uses interviews and remastered footage to capture Billy T's path from cabaret singer to fame, fan-clubs and eventual financial and bodily collapse.

The documentary's director, Ian Mune, cast James in 'Came a Hot Friday' as the Māori-Mexican Tainuia Kid, and 'Te Movie' co-producer Tom Parkinson played a big hand in making Billy T a TV star.
