Since the script was written by someone with first-hand knowledge of the record biz -- Bill Svanoe, from the folk trio The Rooftop Singers, who had a Number One hit in 1963 with 'Walk Right In' -- you might've thought he'd come up with something more insightful than this heavyhanded rise-and-fall hogwash....
