Beyond The Sea Movie (2004)
A swooning study of \"Mack the Knife\" singer Bobby Darin (Spacey) specifically, and his relationship with his wife Sandra Dee (Bosworth).
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.

Movie Comments & Discussion
Bobby Darin Lives On!
Tells the story of the life of Bobby Darin. Walden Robert Cassatto is a frail child, and is told that he will not reach his fifteenth birthday. Defying doctors, Walden matures into Bobby Darin, the chart-topping artist and movie star. When his health problems resurface, however, Darin fears that he will be condemned to a life of disappointment and unrealised dreams...
I think Kevin Spacey's performance in "Beyond the Sea" was outstanding. His portrayal of Bobby Darin was amazing and I felt his singing (yes, HIS singing) was very close to the actual voice and style of Bobby Darin. Kevin Spacey should be recognized as the actor, director, producer and singer that he is. He has excellent instincts and he should be allowed to make more movies and to sing. He has earned my admiration and respect as an artist who is willing to do what is in his heart.
