Excellent doco about a high wire walker who made history when walking across a wire between the 2 towers of the WTC in 1974. There is plenty of footage from when the project was being planned and carried out and also new footage of interviews etc. What these people went through to perpetrate this amazing feat is incredible. There's also footage of his walk on a wire on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and plenty of busking footage where he made most of his money to carry out his feats. Highly recommended if you like doco's and are interested in just how they managed to carry this out.

This is an intriguing documentary that takes you into the private world of a daredevil tightrope walker. What a star! Fortunately there was a wealth of old footage to be used.

I give it 5 stars for the actual story but the doco is lacking a bit, until it gets to the last 20 minutes or so when they are actually executing this amazing feat. An incredible story, some great shots of the twin towers and a bunch of characters lead by the irrepressible Phillipe.
