The Rhinestone Cowboy gives Alzheimer's a face in "Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me," a 2014 documentary about his farewell tour. Backed by a band featuring three of his children, the voice of "Wichita Lineman" and "Rhinestone Cowboy" shows courage, strength and humor. But it can be uncomfortable to watch at times. There is archival footage to put Campbell's underappreciated career in context. Remember: He was an ace studio guitarist who played on hits by the Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra and the Monkees. The movie also provides uncompromising medical information. As a footnote, Campbell earned a Grammy this year for best country song for "I'm Not Gonna Miss You" from the movie. 8 p.m. Sun., CNN
