Curiosidades
The movie is based on the career of artists manager Robert P. Marcucci who discovered and managed rock idols Frankie Avalon and Fabian during the 1950s and 1960s. Vincent 'Vinnie' Vacarri (Ray Sharkey) is based on Marcucci; Tommy Del Russo aka Tommy Dee (Paul Land) is based on Avalon; Guido Bevaloqua aka Caesare (Peter Gallagher) is based on Fabian and Vacarri's assistant, Brenda Roberts (Tovah Feldshuh), is based on Marcucci's real-life assistant at the time, Rona Barrett. Marcucci contributed his reminisces of the 50s & 60s music business to the film's script, did a cameo, and acted as a technical consultant to the production.

Erros de gravação
There are two scenes in the parking lot of the club/bar where Vincent went to see Tommy play saxophone. The first one is where Vincent tells Tommy he would like him to record his songs. The second one is when Caesore is puking after running offstage at his debut which took place two years after the first.The cars in the parking lot are the same cars parked in the exact same order in both scenes.

Citações
Vincent Vacarri: Hey, I'm not dumb! You don't even know me and you call me dumb. Wanna know what's dumb? The last eight covers in a row you did on Elvis in the army, with the badges? That's dumb. And that's boring.

Solid Film

"The Idolmaker" (1980) is a hidden gem coming out at the beginning of the '80s that captivates with its portrayal of the music industry's glitz and glamour. Music business was so different back then all before the internet and social media. An "idol" meant something different. The film's engaging storyline and catchy tunes make it a worthwhile watch. I'm giving it a 7 out of 10 rating, as it successfully captures the spirit of its era and keeps you entertained throughout. I highly recommend a watch for any age but especially if you were alive in this era of the 1950's. A different time a different world.
