New York Times - A jubilant, hugely entertaining movie... The cast is full of glowing newcomers, the score is emphatically upbeat, Variety - It's a rousing, lively production, bursting out of the screen with talent and exuberance
Additional Information
In Alan Parker's FAME, teenagers selected for New York City's High School for the Performing Arts push their talents to the limit to make it big in show business. This episodic tale follows savvy Coco (Irene Cara), timid Doris (Maureen Teefy), gay Montgomery (Paul McCrane), macho Raul (Barry Miller), soulful Bruno (Lee Curreri), and others as they struggle to achieve their dreams of stardom while coping with the universal teenage problems of loneliness, insecurity, and embattled, mercurial identity.<BR>Cara, electric as the budding songstress Coco, shines brightest in the infectiously exuberant young cast. The film, which won Academy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Song, overflows at each corner of its loosely unfolding narrative with inspired music and dance numbers that seem to burst forth spontaneously out of sheer irrepressible emotion. With FAME (later developed into a hit television series), Parker finds a happy medium between the wildly diverging tones of his previous two features, the goofy kids-as-gangsters musical BUGSY MALONE and the harrowing prison thriller MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, and in doing so creates an enjoyable, glittering portrait of guileless teenage ambition.

    Item arrived quickly, well packed and in good condition. Seller had (very) accurately described the condition of the book and I appreciate it (nothing worse than buying a book that says as new and then finding out it's an ex-library copy - have had that happen on eBay more than once). Would recommend this seller

    Safe arrival, after book delayed in the post, through no fault of the seller. Book in very fair condition, especially at the price: would be even better if packaged better than in a single very thin plastic bag, which has allowed an edge of the book to get crumpled during delivery. On balance, good transaction, good seller.

    Poor packaging (sent in a plastic bag), but I was just very fortunate to receive it in good condition. Accurate description and excellent price.

  • The Movie!

    The original "Fame"-Movie is absolutely the best and I cannot count anymore how many times I watched it. Finally I have the DVD again. If anybody say the remake of this is better, then these guys have no clue what a real good movie is!

  • Great film, especially the finale.

    I haven't had time to watch it, but I am sure it will be fine. The price was good, the shipping costs to ship a dvd from England to Italy were very expensive.
