WINGSPAN is a 2001 made-for-television documentary film about Paul McCartney's musical career, after The Beatles disbanded, with his second band, Wings. Produced by the McCartneys' MPL Communications, it was broadcast around the world to accompany the contemporary release of a two-disc retrospective collection from McCartney's solo career, titled Wingspan: Hits And History. Expanded versions of the film, re-entitled WINGSPAN: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT were also released commercially on VHS and DVD in 2001, the latter featuring an additional 22 minutes of interview footage and a number of promotional videos. Where do you go when you’ve always been at the top? That question confronted Paul McCartney in the years after the break-up of The Beatles. After the two solo albums, McCartney decided to take a drastic step: to form a new band. This seemed almost suicidal in retrospect. How do you start a new group after you’ve been in the biggest band of all-time? You have to give the guy credit for taking such a gutsy step. As tough as it is to believe, McCartney almost did it, at least for a little while. In late 1971, he formed Wings. Wings would go on to become a very popular force during the rest of the Seventies. The band became renamed Paul McCartney And Wings for public consumption, a title that would remain through three albums. 1976’s Wings At The Speed Of Sound reinstated the group as solely Wings, and that name remained through their final two releases. Apparently, McCartney never liked the inclusion of his name in the album titles, as he really wanted Wings to be a true band. The format of WINGSPAN: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT uses new conversations with Paul as interviewed by his daughter Mary. These clips intercut with lots of archival footage from the appropriate eras. WINGSPAN: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT starts in the late Sixties and initially covers the early relationship between Paul and Linda. From there we go through the break-up of The Beatles and Paul’s work immediately after that time. This leads up to the formation of Wings. The first half-hour offers some nice coverage of McCartney’s post-Beatles career and the reasons why he decided to start up a new group. On the positive side, we do find a mix of good archival materials throughout WINGSPAN: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT. A lot of this footage was terrific, but unfortunately, it all passes by too quickly. None of the tunes appear in their entirety, and many pop up for just a few seconds. This made them tantalizing and frustrating, especially in some of the live bits. Still, WINGSPAN: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT offered a moderately frustrating experience and it gave us a decent primer about this period of Paul McCartney’s career. WINGSPAN: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT deserves a look for those interested in McCartney, but it seems like a piece that lacked the appropriate depth.
