Review of Stardust

Stardust (1974)
6/10
Stardust falls to earth.
29 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The continued adventures of Jim MacLaine. I advise you watch this back to back with the more gritty "That'll be the day" this time round Mackaine ( David Essex) reaches the top but struggles with the fame and adulation. Ultimately the isolation that fame brings is his undoing. Allied to this the jealousy of his manager ( excellent performance from Adam Faith) creates tensions which ultimately causes Maclaine's star to crash. A classic not as instant as its predecessor but still watchable and very much highlight the overblown concepts of early 70s rock. Maclaine's rock opera about women hood with orchestra and choir being the prime example.
