Storyline
Consummate entertainer Bobby Darin (1936-1973) is making a movie about his life. He's volatile, driven by the love of performing, ambition, perfectionism, and belief that he's living on borrowed time. He begins in the Bronx: a fatherless lad learning music and dance from his mom. His career starts slowly, then "Splish Splash" puts him at the top of the charts and on "Bandstand." He wants to be an entertainer, not a pop star, so he aims for the Copacabana; then it's on to the movies, where he meets and marries Sandra Dee. After, it's balancing career, health, marriage and family life, balances he doesn't always keep. Throughout, conversations with his boyhood self give him perspective. Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Goofs
Anachronisms: During the touring montage, leading up to his Oscar nomination, Bobby Darin sings the song "Fabulous Places." However, this song is too late for the period of time: Darin was nominated for his Oscar in 1963, while "Fabulous Places" was written for the film musical Doctor Dolittle four years later.
