In the early '70s rock photographer Bob Gruen and his wife Nadya purchased a portable video recorder. In a period of 3 years, they shot over 40 hours of New York Dolls footage. The feature length documentary, All Dolled Up, follows the band from their early performances in New York as such clubs as Kenny's castaways and Max's Kansas City. It also documents their West Coast tour and includes footage from the Whiskey-A-Go-Go, the real Don Steele show, Rodney Bingenheimer's E Club, and more.

Inter cut with revealing interviews, backstage banter and late night debauchery, All Dolled Up is the definitive document of the New York Dolls.
