Not to mention that Spacey was just too old to play the part. Bobby died at 37. Spacey was an "old" 44 when they filmed. So the parts when he was supposed to be in his 20's were ridiculous. He looked like Kate Bosworth's father.

But to be fair, it was Spacey's obsession with Darin that finally got that film made. He had the rights from way back in the mid-'90s when he would have been much more age appropriate.


i agree with you PB. one thing that hurt the movie was the movie "RAY" being out about the same time. it over whelmed the Darin movie.
