Movie Summary

With a microphone in one hand and a megaphone in the other, Kevin Spacey presents Beyond The Sea, a refreshingly off-beat biopic of lounge crooner Bobby Darin. Charting his ascent from 50s bubblegum pop to his tuxedo-clad heyday in the 60s, and hippy rebirth in the 70s, Spacey weaves real-life drama with musical set-pieces to create a vibrant and whimsical portrait. Still, after the curtain drops, there's a nagging sense of something missing. A sickly boy, Walden Robert Cassotto (William Ullrich) is told he'll never see his 15th birthday, sparking a quest for immortality that sees him become 'Bobby Darin' (Kevin Spacey), a chart-topping act with rock'n'roll ditty Splish Splash. Not content with teen idol status, however, he shoots for movie stardom and finds himself cast opposite cutesy pie Sandra Dee (Kate Bosworth). She becomes his long-suffering wife, watching her own star plummet as Darin soars with an album of big band standards (including Mack The Knife) and even bags an Oscar nomination. Nonetheless he remains unsatisfied and when old health problems resurface, Darin fears that he'll never achieve true fulfilment.
