The Idolmaker
He's got the look... He's got the talent... He's got the Idolmaker... He's got it all!
A vibrant, energetic drama about ambition and starmaking in 1950s rock music, driven by the charisma of a music promoter and the rise of manufactured pop idols.
Based on the life of rock promoter/producer Bob Marucci, who discovered, among others, Frankie Avalon and Fabian.
