Beyond the Sea movie

Consummate entertainer Bobby Darin (1936-1973) is making a movie about his life. Hes volatile, driven by the love of performing, ambition, perfectionism, and belief that hes 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 its on to the movies, where he meets and marries Sandra Dee. After, its balancing career, health, marriage and family life, balances he doesnt always keep. Throughout, conversations with his boyhood self give him perspective.
