Based on the songwriting partnership of Morrissey (vocals) and Johnny Marr (guitar), The Smiths is one of the most important alternative rock bands to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s.
'Smiths - The Complete Pictures' takes you on a roller-coaster ride of the Smiths' music videos. In the film The Smiths perform several of their hit singles at various locations, including the British program TOP OF THE POPS. Three videos directed by Derek Jarman ('Panic', 'Ask' and 'The Queen is Dead'), two by Tim Broad (Girlfriend in a Coma and Stop Me...), and one by Paula Grief and Richard Levine (How Soon Is Now?) feature in this film.
