THE BOYS: THE SHERMAN BROTHERS STORY (FILM)


Directed by Gregory V. Sherman, Jeff Sherman

Documentary

USA

2009

Seen on Disney +


Delves into the lives and cinematic legacy of the prolific songwriting duo whose music has been featured in classic movies such as Mary Poppins (1964) and The Jungle Book (1967).

Well-produced documentary on these prolific  composers.  Made before Robert B. Sherman's death in 2012.  Aside from some idiotic illustrative clips lifted from the films just to match the spoken word, it's a fascinating story of sibling conflict as well as enduring music.
