Summary of Bobby Darin - Mack Is Back
Now for the first time, viewers get an up close and personal look at Darin's last television performance that was never aired! Presented in its original unedited format, audiences can experience the show from the front row, as if they were there. And although recorded in 1973, the vibrant color camera-work, lighting and audio production of NBC studios appear as current as Mr. Darin's timeless appeal. The DVD also features family photographs and never-before-released home movies of Bobby with his wife Sandra Dee and their son Dodd. Seldom-seen TV footage of The Andy Williams and Flip Wilson Shows and rare Hollywood trailers of his early feature films Come September and Pressure Point are included as well as commentary about Darin's Oscar-nominated role in Captain Newman, M.D. by the film's star Gregory Peck. Plus, the interactive discography makes the DVD an invaluable source on the Darin era.Singer Bobby Darin's last recorded performance is an entertaining look at a versatile, freewheeling talent. Taped in March 1973 in Los Angeles, the 70-minute show spotlights a finger-snappin', jive-talkin' hipster who combined Frank Sinatra's saloon-singer sophistication with Elvis Presley's blues/rock/country/R&B chops. Darin hits like "Splish Splash," the lovely "If I Were a Carpenter," and "Beyond the Sea" are included, along with the inevitable "Mack the Knife" (which is tacked onto the end and appears to come from another performance entirely) and a variety of other familiar tunes. Darin, of course, is the cynosure, telling jokes and stories, doing impressions, playing guitar, piano, and even some very decent blues harp. And while the tone of the show occasionally veers toward slick, Vegas-style vacuity, one can only wonder how brightly Darin's star might have shone had his chronically weak heart not given out nine months later, when he was just 37. --Sam Graham
