Featured review
A very curious movie. Someone must have made LaRosa and Phyllis Newman an offer they couldn't refuse. Anyone familiar with Julius LaRosa or Phyllis Newman knows that neither was ever an exponent of Rock 'N' Roll, and despite this movie's ending, never did Julie or Phyllis experience such an "epiphany" in their own careers. Ironically, and despite this movie's premise of R&R supplanting MOR (middle-of-the-road) LaRosa's career continues to thrive to this day, long after the vast majority of the R&R artists of the time are either dead or forgotten (or both). The premise that the major labels had set about abandoning MOR artists in favor of R&R during this time is not true at all. In fact, it was 'payola', and the impending scandal over it, that had sustained R&R during this period, and which nearly resulted in R&R's demise upon its revelation, even as MOR artists such as Sinatra, Martin, Como, Doris Day, Peggy Lee, and many others, continued to thrive. It wasn't until the British Invasion of the mid-sixties, which coincided with the "Howdy Doody Generation"'s coming of age, that the major labels, and many radio stations, finally abandoned MOR, thus signaling the beginning of the long downward spiral in pop music culture that continues to this day.
