Movie Reviews of Bobby Darin: Seeing Is Believing

Movie Review: Great follow-up to the "love haze" created by Beyond the Song
Summary: 5 Stars

After Beyond the Song -- you want more, more, more. This is a video collection of songs by Mr. Beautiful at different periods of his amazingly gifted life. I'm glad i bought it. Worth every cent.

Movie Review: I Love Watching Bobby Sing & Swing!
Summary: 4 Stars

For those of us who try to sing & move like Bobby, this CD is "must viewing." For those who want to remember how good a performer he was and pull the CD out with a smile on your face, this will do it. I am 60 years old and I still try to sing like Bobby. I do it more for exercise now than anything else. I have been a Bobby Darin fan since I was 12, because no one swings like he did. Never have, never will. He sang, danced, played at least a half-dozen instruments, did impressions, and could act. As far as this CD goes my only complaint (beside it's being too short) is that the funny bit at the end of "Beyond the Sea" was not added. It was funny. Long, but funny. As for every thing else on the CD, it was fun to watch and listen to. Frank Sinatra said it best: "Bobby just did it all."

Movie Review: Splendid collection
Summary: 4 Stars

Let me short but sweet. This is a very fine and generous collection. Most of the cuts, particularly those from the NBC television program, are clean and clear; could have been done yesterday. The duet with Connie Francis is a kicker.

Why only four stars? As others have pointed out, it is incomprehensible that the producers, especially Jimmy Scalia, who is an archivist who has shown a strong interest in Darin, working with Spacey on the biobic Beyond the Sea (which I also enjoyed), would not take a few minutes to write up some liner notes and identify other singers and, where possible, accompanying musicians. The disc deserves far more. So does Bobby Darin, a magnificent performer and interesting man.

Movie Review: Great new footage to watch of Bobby D.
Summary: 4 Stars

I've loved Bobby Darin since I was a kid and really enjoyed having new footage to watch of him. My only complaint is that it would have been nice to know what years the performances were. There is one duet that I never did find who the female singer was with him. Other than that I am very happy with my purchase.
