The Fabulous Allan Carr

2017 · 90 min

A lively, gossipy rise-and-fall portrait that balances outrageous fun with a sobering look at excess and reinvention.

Overview: Armed with a limitless Rolodex and a Benedict Canyon enclave with its own disco, Allan Carr threw the Hollywood parties that defined the 1970s. A producer, manager, and marketing genius, Carr built his bombastic reputation amid a series of successes including the mega-hit musical film "Grease," until it all came crashing down after he produced the 1989 Academy Awards, a notorious debacle.
