Movie about a guy who starts a record label?
I am looking for a movie about a guy that started his own record label and it's not Caddilac records.
The setting of the movie was possibly 1970s and the character were Italian men. It may have even been shot in the 80s or 70s.
There was an Italain guy that was probably in his 30s playing the lead character. He was sort of balding and just didnt have the looks to make it in the music industry.
After he promoted his brother who became a megastar, he started to promote and a very young kid, about 16, into stardom. There were a few specific segments of the movie where I remember the kid escaped from the house.
He was staying in to go for a joy ride while smoking a cigerette. The kid was found in a bar as a bus boy. They put huge posters of the kid everywhere around the town they lived in.
Well, I guess that is it. I hope someone can help.
Thank you in advance.
The Idolmaker (1980)
Wikipedia synopsis:
Ray Sharkey plays Vincent Vacari, a songwriter/manager, driven by his desire to discover the next big act. After watching the band play at a local club, Vinnie approaches Tomaso DeLorusso (Paul Land), a popular and talented saxophone player, and convinces him to trade his instrument for a microphone. Following some months under Vinnie's guidance, "Tommy Dee" becomes a rock 'n' roll sensation. Following on from his success with Tommy Dee, Vinnie prepares another act in the form of Guido (Peter Gallagher), a local busboy. With even more gusto and singlemindedness, Vinnie embarks on a destructive journey to control every aspect of his new act's image. Despite Vinnie's obvious flair for idolmaking, his girlfriend Brenda (Tovah Feldshuh) is concerned that his obsession is destroying everyone around him, including himself.
Here's Part 1 on YouTube:
After many years of not seeing the movie, I watched it a couple of months ago. It's still very entertaining, and it's apparent that Ray Sharkey was a tragic loss. At least he managed a comeback later in"Wiseguy" TV series.
