Great movie about singers Jan & Dean. It made me cry the first time I saw it. Richard Hatch actually studied Jan's walk and speech patterns in order to play the role. Dean provided memorabilia and Jan himself can be seen in the audience near the end. If this makes you curious about them, you can learn a whole heck of a lot more from the book DEAD MAN'S CURVE AND BACK - THE JAN & DEAN STORY by Mark Thomas Passmore. This can be bought at bookstores and Amazon.Com. The book really goes in depth with pictures and carries the story past where this TV movie revitalized their a career. Sort of a "sequel" in a way! Too bad Jan died last year, they were very cool in concert.
