David Bailey, one of the world's foremost photographers, interviews Andy Warhol and his pop art followers, in an attempt to penetrate behind the expressionless exterior of a man who was one of the most controversial figures of his generation. One of his followers sums up a view held by many... 'Andy's greatest work has been this myth that he's perpetuated about himself. The myth of Andy Warhol. And it really has created a sub-culture'.

Personal discussion revolves around sexuality, Warhol's life at The Factory and his experiences when he was shot
