From the award-winning director of Comic Book Confidential comes Tales of The Rat Fink, Ron Mann's wildly inventive biography about Renaissance man Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, who took America's love of the fast and the loud and took it to the next level. From early days customizing jalopies for his friends, Tales of the Rat Fink traces Big Daddy's Roth rise to fame as a car customizer and as a cartoonist who created the pop culture phenomenon, the Rat Fink (who appears on t-shirts to this day). This documentary provides a loving look at car culture in Southern California from the 50s through today and demonstrates how it is possible for a hobby to blossom into the ultimate fulfillment of a dream.
