Sane Inside Insanity: The Phenomenon of Rocky Horror

What is the secret behind the success of "Rocky Horror"? Is it the music? The actors? The comedy? It's certainly not the special effects or the plot. "Rocky Horror" has been around for 50 years, and yet continues to be successful in movie theaters as well as on stage. This documentary highlights the history of "Rocky Horror", which started off as a clumsy concept for a musical, and ended up with two movies, tons of merchandise, millions of fans and world touring shows, grossing more than 500 million US-Dollar in revenue.
