The Temptations (TV miniseries)

The Temptations is a fourhour television miniseries broadcast in twohour halves on NBC, based upon the history of one of Motowns longestlived acts, The Temptations. Executive produced by former Motown executive Suzanne de Passe, produced by Otis Williams and Temptations manager Shelley Berger, and based upon Williams Temptations autobiography, the miniseries was originally broadcast on Novemberand November 2, 1998. It was filmed on location in Pittsburgh, PA in the spring of 1998. Allan Arkush was the miniseries director.

As a result, Otis Williams and the producers would be sued by several people portrayed in the film and their families, notably Melvin Franklins mother and the children and estate of David Ruffin.Although the movie is set mostly in Detroit and Los Angeles, the producers chose to shoot the film in Pittsburgh, presumably to take advantage of the many different architectural and geographical looks that Pittsburgh offers. de Passe Entertainment had, some six years earlier, shot The Jacksons An American Dream in Pittsburgh as well. ........
