Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Spacey spent over a decade developing this, personally financing when studios passed. He recorded the soundtrack before filming to prove he could sing.
The real Sandra Dee called the film 'crap' and was estranged from her son until her death. The movie's Polly is far more sympathetic than Dee's actual mother.
