BEYOND THE SEA
Beyond the Sea is a 2004 American biographical film based on the life of singer/actor Bobby Darin. Starring in the lead role and using his own singing voice for the musical numbers, Kevin Spacey co-wrote, directed, and co-produced the film, which takes its title from Darin’s hit version of the song of the same name. Beyond the Sea depicts Darin’s rise to success in both the music and film industry during the 1950s and 60s, as well as his marriage to Sandra Dee, portrayed by Kate Bosworth. (More from Wikipedia)
As shown in Beyond the Sea (masterminded by and starring Kevin Spacey, and one of the best musical biopics I have seen), Bobby Darin fought a losing battle to record and perform as much music as he possibly could before his inevitable death at age 37 in 1973.
