Great Film! Very entertaining and close to the real thing.

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2005)

This is one of my favorite films of all time. Not only does it have a great soundtrack, showcase some incredible vintage music instruments but also has an early appearance by the now famous Liv Tyler.
Having spent over 20 years in the music business combined with being a musicians daughter, this film tells it like it is. It's a very truthful behind the scenes look at what it's really like in the music business. Producers, stage shows, traveling, the television stuff. It's all a very accurate picture of how it was at the time. One of the most truthful scenes, is where the character "Jimmy" approaches the mighty Sol Syler (record company Pres/Owner) to get an appointment and is strongly rebuffed when Syler tells his assistant "Will someone get Fabian out of my face!" This film is a delightful look behind the scenes at what it's like to be on the road performing in the 60's. It's a very entertaining film and in my opinion well worth the time if you don't over analyze and just enjoy it for what it is.
