The Weavers: Wasn't That a Time! is a 1982 documentary film by Jim Brown.[1]
It chronicles the legendary folk group The Weavers and the events leading up to the band’s 1980 reunion concert at Carnegie Hall which would soon be the last time with the original lineup.[2][3][4][5]
Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert gave the film two thumbs up[6] to the point where the latter choose it as the #10 choice on his list for the best films of that year.[7]
The film was also the inspiration for the 2003 mockumentary film A Mighty Wind.[8][9]
