Beyond the Sea Page #7

Synopsis: 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.

You know, I was right about you.

Right about what?

You're gonna be easy to love.

May I have this dance, Miss Sandra

Dee?

I would be honoured, Bobby Darin.

Oh, you son of a b*tch!

I felt sorry for you and you betrayed

me.

Mary, I think you're overreacting.

I said you could take her out sightseeing.

For publicity.

- I didn't say you could marry her!

- Mother!

We are only engaged.

You, come with me!

D Because I want a girl...

Sit!

You... You don't even know how

to comb your hair without me.

You don't know how to dress without me,

walk, talk to people without me!

I'm the one who brought you into this world.

I created you.

You'd fall apart in 15 minutes without

me.

Oh, Mother, please.

When the time is right and you're

ready,

we will find a husband for you who is

suitable...

What's going on?

No, I love him! I love him with all my

heart.

- Oh, he's a loser.

- No, he's smart and he's funny.

I wish you'd concentrated more

on Rock Hudson.

Rock Hudson is a very nice man,

Mother, but I'm not in love with him.

He still would have been a better husband

for you than Bobby Darin!

Why can't you let me make

a decision on my own?

I don't even want to talk about this

any further.

We're leaving.

Him or me?

Fine.

Give her to me. Give her to me!

Mary! Mary! Wait, wait, wait a minute!

Nina, stay out of it!

It's none of your business!

Mary! I wanna talk to you!

You gonna plan to have any kids?

Show us the ring!

- Have you set the date yet?

- Marriage is such a big step.

We'll wait before rushing into anything.

Right, honey?

Right. Absolutely.

We are definitely gonna wait, gentlemen.

Absolutely.

OK, there.

- Bobby.

- OK.

This... is your home.

No...

I don't mind having a few friends

around every now and then,

and when your mother comes around,

which she finally will,

why, she'll be welcome too.

But for the moment,

I think it should be exclusively us.

Mr and Mrs Bobby Darin at home.

Sandy?

Hey, where'd you go?

Did you go in here already?

Sandush, where are you?

Hey, baby.

Baby, this should be

the happiest night of your life.

All right. Come on, let's get out of here.

Come on.

I can't. I can't, I can't, I can't, I

can't, I can't.

- You can't what?

- I can't go through with this.

- Of course you can, baby.

- I can't.

- Yes, you can.

- You don't want to be married to me!

I'm staying married to you until death

do us part.

How do you marry somebody

that you don't even know?

Who doesn't know who?

I don't know you or you me?

I don't know if I know you.

I know you don't know me.

- I know you, you're Mrs Bobby Darin.

- No!

It's never gonna work, Bobby.

Let'sjust get out of it now.

Kevin Spacey

Kevin Spacey Fowler (born July 26, 1959) is an American actor, producer and singer. He began his career as a stage actor during the 1980s before obtaining supporting roles in film and television. He gained critical acclaim in the early 1990s that culminated in his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the neo-noir crime thriller The Usual Suspects (1995) and an Academy Award for Best Actor for the midlife crisis-themed drama American Beauty (1999). His other starring roles have included the comedy-drama film Swimming with Sharks (1994), the psychological thriller Seven (1995), the neo-noir crime film L.A. Confidential (1997), the drama Pay It Forward (2000), the science fiction-mystery film K-PAX (2001), the musical biopic Beyond the Sea (2004), the superhero film Superman Returns (2006) and the action film Baby Driver (2017). In Broadway theatre, Spacey won a Tony Award in 1991 for his role in Lost in Yonkers. In 2017, he hosted the 71st Tony Awards. He was the artistic director of the Old Vic theatre in London from 2004 until stepping down in mid-2015. From 2013 to 2017, Spacey played Frank Underwood in the Netflix political drama series House of Cards. For his role as Underwood, he has won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama and two consecutive Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series. In October 2017, Spacey was accused by actor Anthony Rapp of making a sexual advance toward him when Rapp was 14. Shortly after, numerous other men alleged that Spacey had sexually harassed or assaulted them. As a result, Netflix cut all ties with him, shelved his film Gore and removed him from the cast of the last season of House of Cards. He was to appear in Ridley Scott's film All the Money in the World; however, all his scenes were cut from the film, and Christopher Plummer replaced him in reshoots. more…
