Saturday 3 June 2006 22:30-23:00 (Radio 3)
Paul McCartney and Martin Scorsese explore the life and times of Albert Maysles. Along with his brother David, Maysles played an important role in the mid-20th Century documentary film-making revolution. He developed the genre of 'direct cinema' with his classics What's Happening!, The Beatles in the USA in 1964, Salesman and the controversial Gimme Shelter in 1970 - which explored the Rolling Stones' tour of America.
