Didn't see the movie, but I read the Wrecking Crew book.

Glen Campbell gets a lot of ink in it.

My favorite Wrecking Crew member was Carol Kaye, the bassist. Among many many other records, she played on Love's "Forever Changes," and on the Mothers of Invention first couple of albums until she quit because she found the lyrics offensive. Frank Zappa still loved her playing, though.

“My favorite Wrecking Crew member was Carol Kaye, the bassist.”

IIRC she improvised the hook for Nancy Sinatra’s “Boots”, basically the reason that song became a hit.

The Wrecking Crew was constantly working and made a ton of money.
