Beyond the Sea

Beyond the Sea (2004) is a musical biopic you can watch online on iFILM, with Kevin Spacey directing, starring, and singing every note himself as Bobby Darin. Kate Bosworth plays Sandra Dee, with John Goodman, Bob Hoskins, and Brenda Blethyn rounding out the cast.

Darin grew up poor in the Bronx, told by doctors he wouldn't survive his twenties after childhood rheumatic fever left him with heart damage. His answer was a run of hits — Splish Splash, Mack the Knife, Beyond the Sea — plus two Grammy Awards and an Oscar nomination for acting. Spacey frames the whole film as a performance within a performance: Darin narrates his own life story, refusing the role of a dying man even while dying. Stream Beyond the Sea (2004) on iFILM.
