 Fame Movie: Fame DVD is available from Bestprices.com
In Alan Parker's FAME, teenagers selected for New York City's High School for the Performing Arts push their talents to the limit to make it big in show business.
The film, which won Academy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Song, overflows at each corner of its loosely unfolding narrative with inspired music and dance numbers that seem to burst forth spontaneously out of sheer irrepressible emotion.
With FAME (later developed into a hit television series), Parker finds a happy medium between the wildly diverging tones of his previous two features, the goofy kids-as-gangsters musical BUGSY MALONE and the harrowing prison thriller MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, and in doing so creates an enjoyable, glittering portrait of guileless teenage ambition.

It's a testament to both director Sam Peckinpah and star Steve McQueen that THE GETAWAY (1972) survived to become the legendary film it is. Filmed in and around San Marcos, its pure Texas locales and tension between star and director made for a taut action thriller.
