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>

Did You Know?
Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): At the beginning, a reporter wanted to ask Bobby a few questions for portraying himself in a biography film, by saying "No one hasn't done anything like this before.", yet celebrities like Jackie Robinson ( The Jackie Robinson Story), 'Audie Murphy' ( To Hell and Back) have done it before.
