Bobby`s World : The making of Beyond the Sea

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.
