Morrissey shows a montage of some pretty excellent film clips before his 10-night Hollywood shows; James Dean being fitted for wardrobe in East of Eden, some Alan Bates movie, New York Dolls footage, Bardot video, Vince Taylor, and a couple of others that I can’t remember. I was curious as to how many of these videos I could find on YouTube. I was able to find the following three, if you know of links to any of the others, or the “names” of any that I didn’t mention, let me know in the comments. I would really recommend watching the Vince Taylor clip, it’s pretty incredible.

Incredible video of the uber-charasmatic Vince Taylor. Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust was based on the downfall of Taylor.
