Appearance
quality,factual view of what happens when you become a star.
The movie shows the transition from a normal person to a star and the cost of fame. The promotor losses his artist to a biger promotor and life is not always fair. The movie is a reflection of what is happening even today in hollywood where stars are born from nothing.
A must for fans of the "Philly Sound"
For those of us with the privilege of growing up on the East Coast and witnesses to the sound coming out of Philadelphia in the early 60's, this movie is a must-see. Ray Sharkey shines in his performance here and reminds me what a natural talent he was. He is sorely missed.
One of my All Time Favorites
I watched this movie as a little girl and I have loved it ever since. I have seen it hundreds of times and I'm glad to see it out on DVD. If you haven't seen it, then you're missing a great movie that should be a classic!! The music, actors and acting are fantastic and the soundtrack is a part of my life.
The Idolmaker
This was a very enjoyable, well acted movie about the stars of the 50's rock and roll era. It was an interesting look at behind the scenes workings of making "stars" of unknowns. I would definitely recommend it.
Color not as shown, horrible DynaDirect Customer Service
The Oak/Black is no where near the light color in the photo. It's much, much darker color. The tower also came damaged (several paint chips in exposed areas).Don't even think about trying to return something to Dynadirect. Their CS department was rude and insulting. They refused to pay return shipping even though they were 100% wrong by "displaying" this product incorrectly. You shouldn't have to pay to send back an item you didn't order in the first place. Avoid these guys like the plague.
All the Regency books should be rewritten!
None of JB's Regency stories were any good. All the characters were fine but the plots were [not]. The men seemed to all talk like dandies too. Not very appealing even if it was accurate.
