David Essex - Jim MacLaine rise and fall of a rock star 3 / 3

Stardust is a 1974 British film directed by Michael Apted and starring David Essex and Adam Faith. The film is the sequel to the 1973 film That'll Be The Day. Its tagline is: "Show me a boy who never wanted to be a rock star and I'll show you a liar."
Following on from the earlier film it is set in the mid 1960s/early 70's and follows the career of aspiring rock star Jim Maclaine. Maclaine has assembled a group of musicians and formed a band The Stray Cats, he seeks out his old friend Mike to become the bands road manager. Mike quickly acquires a new van, accommodation and a recording session for the group. Maclaine soon becomes a massive star and is plunged into the centre of media attention. He indulges in casual sex and heavy drug use and the film documents the detrimental effects of this success on Maclaine and his relationship with his friends and colleagues. In particular, Maclaines long-standing friendship with manager Mike is now soured by money and success.

If i had included the song Stardust at the end,the video would have overrun the time limit

Not just a great performer, but a hell of an actor too. His eyes speak volumes without him having to say a word. Heartbreaking ending. So sad.

Thanks so much for posting this up.

Good ending to probably one of the best rock movies ever made, I think that's how we would all like to die, i.e, on a high and with worldwide attention.
