I watched Beyond the Sea last night for the second time. I love biopics and this one tells the story of Bobby Darin. It stars Kevin Spacey as Bobby Darin and Kate Bosworth as Sandra Dee. Before I saw this movie, I wasn't familar with Bobby's story, just his songs like "Mack the Knife," "Splish Splash," "Beyond the Sea," and "Dream Lover." I was familiar with Sandra Dee from watching one of my favorite movies, Gidget. I even did a research paper and presentation on it for my Critical Approaches class this semester, comparing Dee's version to the book written by Frederick Kohner. After I saw this movie, I saw "That Funny Feeling" which Bobby and Sandra starred in together and the remake of "State Fair" that Bobby was in. Kate looks so much like Sandra, it's uncanny.
