    An unfairly forgotten classic for you to rediscover
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2000*

"I've been up, I've been down, I've been playing women all around  ..." It amazes me that this great movie seemed to have bypassed modern  audiences to the extent that no-one even remembers it anymore. I remember  when it was released in South Africa in 1981, my best friend and I went to  see it four times in the same week. At that time, we were uncritically into  movies about music, rock 'n roll and disco (Grease; Saturday Night Fever;  Thank God it's Friday; I Wanna Hold your Hand etc)and this movie delivered  big time in terms of our low expectations. As I've matured, movies like  these have either dated rather badly (Saturday Night Fever) or gradually  revealed their mediocrity (Thank God it's Friday). The Idolmaker has only  become better! This is truly a movie that succeeds in being all things to  all people. As kids, it delivered the most basic kind of entertainment that  made going to the movies a weekly pleasure. As adults, it delivers an  intelligent, bittersweet and admirably unsentimental look at the  unforgiving dynamics of an industry and culture prizing image and  packaging over substance and content. Featuring a remarkably confident  career best performance by Ray Sharkey ably supported by the always  reliable Joe Pantoliano and a suitably weeny Peter Gallagher, The Idolmaker  is the forgotten classic of the musical drama genre. In a funny way, given  the setting, the neighbourhood, the wiseguy attitude - I've always kind of  considered The Idolmaker as a kind of sub-Scorsese movie - an upmarket,  glamorous companion piece to Mean Streets, Raging Bull and other such  Italian American neighbourhood tales. But that would be unfair to director  Taylor Hackford, who has fashioned a remarkably original stand-alone homage  to the hardworking, entrepreneurial, fame-hungry neighbourhood kids who  were the real, unseen backbone of the rock 'n roll industry. Breezy and  pacy, yet tinged with profound pathos, The Idolmaker is the best of its  kind. The fact that it has a terrific soundtrack that'll have you humming  all day doesn't hurt either. This is the best, most insightful and  intellectually stimulating movie about rock 'n roll ever made. Add The  Idolmaker to This is Spinal Tap and A Hard Day's Night in your collection  and you'll own the only movies you need to about the music industry and the  stupidities -and undeniable attraction - of its attendant celebrity. Oh yes  - and I guarantee that after watching this movie, you'll never be able to  take groups like the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync seriously again.

    Ray Sharkey Gets Five Stars--Always!
  

*by B***M on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2011*

I remember seeing this film in the theater in 1981 and its so great to be able to buy it on Amazon so many years later, to see it again!The movie itself is a fast-paced, entertaining glimpse into the world of the Italian 'teen singing  idols' who came out of Philly and Jersey in the 1950's-1960's.  I don't even know if this movie was ever a hit, I had never seen it on cable or on tv,  but Ray Sharkey's performance was so unforgettable, that almost thirty  years later, when I accidentally found it on Amazon, I bought the DVD becasue I just had to see it again.Ray Sharkey, an amazing, oscar-worthy actor,  turned in a passionate, riveting performance in the starring role as the Idolmaker and  then went on to do an equally great job as mobster Sonny Steelgrave in the 1980's hit tv series Wiseguy.Despite the fact that he was a rising star with real acting chops, his  career was cut tragically short, from what I understand,  and he died young, a few years later.Ray Sharkey's  death was  a great loss to the film industry. I can only imagine what he could have done, if he had only had more time.
