Stardust

Aroview: Musical biopic of fictional 60s British popsters The Stray Cats (the name later adopted by 80s rockabillies) and their invasion of America. 70s pop idol David Essex dissolves some of his own pop myth as the band leader who finds disillusionment at the top. Indictment of the music industry cuts through the familiar fable with vivid production detail and a blow-out finale. ‘The Cats’ include Dave Edmunds, Paul Nicholas, and one Keith Moon.
