@TheJudgeNYC Well, not really very accurate; his wife wouldn't let them use her name so they created a fictional character loosely based on her. And his father was not the loveable cantor that we see here. Actually he had a brother which was left out of the film. But they do capture the ego and charisma of the man.
I Saw this when I a lttle boy back in the old country, of course we were all a wee bit more innocent then. Poor young Scotty ended up in a bad way. R.I.P. I always enjoyed thwe songs..
If you enjoy Scotty Beckett as much as I, try searching "the happy years 1950", a marvelous movie with Dean Stockwell & Scotty Beckett about boarding school in the 1890's. Another treasure!
How accurate is this story?
