I can't wait for this movie to come out. It follows the lives of two of Jackie Kennedy's uber-wealthy relatives who go from riches to rags in the most heartbreaking, yet dignified way. I would love to find the 1975 documentary.

You might have seen one out in Minnesota
Or maybe down by the sea in Sarasota
But they were made back in Worcester Mass
Of aluminum and bakelite and glass
Like a locomotive they were streamlined
And the blue prints were drawn up from a dream of mine
Slap 'em up put 'em on the train
Out to Michigan up to Maine
You may find a diner down in Georgia or
Carolina off the twenty by the Piggly Wiggly
In the country out of Waynsboro
Or when it's getting late and rainy out in New York State
You hang a louie off the thru-way
And you go and grab yourself a cheeseburger
At the little gem diner off the six niner
Diner my shiny shiny love
In the night you're all I'm thinking of
Diner my shiny shiny love
The cruiser pulls in where the trooper's always stop
As we dine over the chrome and formica table top
The cashier she always squints
By the gum and the bowl of mints
She's tapping her toe
To the Dean Martin on the consolette
Booth service and a cigarette we're loving it so
Side of fries a dollar
Or the haddock plate two ninety five
A rootbeer float a pepsi
And be sure to save some room for some apple pie
Better make it a-la-mode
Chorus
Dean Martin god rest his soul
Talkin' to me from the cereal bowl
There's a couple from the show me state
Knockin' back a little meatloaf plate
Diner my shiny shiny love.

Just A Gal...
I was told right after filming of the HBO film wrapped up in the fall of 2007, that I would be blown away at the last scene, where Edie sings Tea For Two at Reno Sweeny, and I was ! I had supplied the film company with the only recording in existence of Edie singing the tune, only this wasn't from her actual performance at the club, but rather her singing it just for me at one of my many visits to Grey Gardens. Drew sang it exactly, phrase for phrase as I have it on tape. Edie and I actually met that night at Reno Sweeny, and my relationship with Grey Gardens has now spanned over 3 decades. For our complete review, check out our blog at MyGreyGardens.com (HBO film review by Robb Brawn & Lee Arboreen), and be sure to check our Youtube video uploaded 4/18/09 the same day as the HBO film release.

I'm so glad you posted this! I hadn't heard of it because I live in France: I'll have to look for the documentary too on youtube:)
I did a post about the documentary a while ago...

I can't wait to see the movie! But I live in Belgium so I'm going to have to wait! pffff!
Love, Betsy.
AHH CUTEST BLOG EVER!!
I definitely want to see this.
I cannot wait for the vided, or dvd rather.
If you haven't seen the documentary yet, see it see it see it! Every once in a while little glimpses of it pop into my head. It's great.
I really want to see both films, but I've got it in my head that I should see the original documentary FIRST! Afterall, wouldn't one enjoy the new movie more if they had the first one in the back of their mind as a reference point? Gotta find that doc!
The documentary is fascinating. They play it on Sundance or IFC once in a blue moon. Love your blog!!
