Bobby Darin: Seeing Is Believing
- Screen Reviews
- November 30, 2006
With this new DVD release, Hyena continues their ambitious attempt to put together a case for Darin as both underrated and influential. Does it work? Ben Varkentine says that although Darin sometimes seems to be on autopilot, when he’s got his mojo working and is soldly in the driver’s seat, his skills as a perfomer are too great to be denied.
