It's called 'A Poem is a Naked Person' about Leon Russell and Central Oklahoma , finished in 1974.
Leon Russell paid for Les and an assistant to live on his property for 2 years, all expenses
paid, and at the end said he liked the film, but then refused to let it be distributed. ( ? )
He also caused Les serious legal problems the few times he tried to show it.
Les can only show it at non-profits if he is present at the screening.

It was a great film, aside from the music it's a really amazing time capsule of the mid '70's.
(It sure was different back then.....)
It's really a shame that more people can't see this film.
