About this product

Product Information

Adapted from the 2006 Tony Winner for Best Musical, this bittersweet saga dramatizes the rise and fall of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons - one of the key pop groups of the early '60s, responsible for such iconic hits as "Sherry," "Walk Like a Man" and "Big Girls Don't Cry." The story opens in New Jersey, where young Francesco Castelluccio (John Lloyd Young) and his buddies face a narrow window of future career options. Their possible paths include show business on one hand and organized crime on the other, embodied by the slightly menacing yet avuncular kingpin, Angelo "Gyp" DeCarlo (Christopher Walken), who runs the neighborhood and keeps an eye on them. The boys begin to nurture dreams of becoming musical stars, goals that seem far out of reach until they invite Francesco to perform with them in their band, then rename him Frankie Valli; his unique falsetto vocals captivate the girls in the audience, which provides a sign of things to come. The young hopefuls sign a contract at the Brill Building and begin doing backup vocals for record producer Bob Crewe (Mike Doyle), but experience frustration when Crewe drags his feet on recording them as a solo act.Later, the performers name themselves The Four Seasons after feeling inspired by an unusual source. They add songwriter-musician Bob Gaudio (Erich Bergen) and the equation is complete; Crewe hears Gaudio's composition "Sherry," decides to double-track Valli's voice, and helps create a national sensation. Later, however, certain difficulties begin to take their toll on the band - including financial problems, inner rivalries and tensions between the bandmates, and Valli's long periods on the road away from his wife and daughters. Clint Eastwood directs, from a screenplay by the co-authors of the original musical, Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice.

  • Best music ever!!!!

    The story is real. The struggles are real. The music is the best!!! I loved all of this movie from beginning to end. I have watched it many times. Frankie Valli was/is one of my favorite artists! Seeing the human side of this man and how hard he worked to make and keep a name for himself made me love his music so much more! Frankie was so smart to team up with Bob. He had a writer that really knew his stuff!!!

  • I grew up with these guys so I didn't forget.

    I grew up with the four seasons. They seem to be almost forgotten about today. The music always brings back good memories of the Jersey shore ect. I grew up in keinsburg n.j. when things and music was better. and the times were better. What happened? Feels like the end days are upon us. Maybe our bible didn't lie. I just hope god has mercy on us all.

    I enjoyed this docu-drama of The Four Seasons. I did see the stage show and I liked the singing in the stage show (Detroit) better. The performers did a credible job but I think they should have used an original Four Seasons music in this movie. If you liked The Four Seasons I would buy it. Interesting story about how it all happened. I love their music, many memories for me.

  • A look into the lives of Frankie Valley and The Four Seasons.

    Warts and all. This movie is brilliantly acted, directed and filmed and tells us a lot we never knew about Frankie and Four Seasons, with a great final scene. The music and songs alone are worth watching. This is definitely a keeper.

  • Great movie

    A superior movie describing the Four Seasons. I've watched it several times as well as attending the play numerous times as well. It effectively describes the group from the early stages to the growth and popularity of the group. Very informative.

  • Gotta love it!!

    So good, you will think it is the real group. Story is surprising with some facts, but true. If you love Frankie Valli, this is a movie to see. Heartwarming, sad, happy, everything! I watch it again and again.

  • Worth the time to watch, a compelling story.

    I grew up during this period of time so the music wasn't new to me, but the back ground story was. I've seen both the live play, and the movie it was based on, and both are very good. The actors do a good job of a tough singing style, that's what made Frankie Valli great. His singing style and high notes, no one will surpass him in that field... but the actors come a close second. If you like a little history and a whole lot of music entertainment, this could be just what your looking for.

  • Great Entertainment

    For fans of The Four Seasons, this is a 'must see' movie. The movie is well done with a very novel presentation. The characters are very engaging and the music is well done. Welcome back to a visit of your teen-age years.

    I enjoyed the movie glad I did not take to heart the review BUT from a personal point of view the play is much better having seen it in New York and London
