The Making Of Thriller' If you're interested in Michael Jackson and you've got a VCR then you've already taped Thriller' off air. So why hire The Making of ... documentary, especially when it's virtually what you'd expect. Because, along with all the standard stuff oh you know: finding out why Michael chose John Landis as director, watching the werewolf make-up being applied, seeing the dancers rehearse, blah blah there are a couple of very worthwhile bonuses. First is a sixties clip of the Jackson Five with a nine or 10 year-old Michael in superb voice. He had extraordinary presence even then. The second, taken from last year's Motown 25th Anniversary special, shows a live performance of 'Billie Jean' that is absolutely dazzling. While neither of these sequences is anything whatever to do with the making of 'Thriller', they alone make the hireage fee worthwhile.?"* - -PT
