As Staffell told Esquire, the film made his departure from Smile much more dramatic not only did he leave the band amicably, but he also knew Mercury from the London arts and music scenes. When Smile's lead singer Tim Staffell quits the band in a huff, Mercury swoops in and impresses the remaining members (May and Taylor) with his a cappella version rendition of the song. The film kickstarts with Queen's origin story, depicting the somewhat shy Freddie Mercury attending a concert in London where he sees a band called Smile performing "Doin' Alright," a song that Queen would later record as their own.
