Film synopsis:
Abandoned by his father at an early age, Jim MacLaine seems to have inherited the old man's restlessness. Despite his apparent intelligence, Jim decides not to take the exams that would pave his way to university. He lives, for a time, a life consisting of dead-end jobs and meaningless sex, before returning home to work in his mother's shop. But still he can't settle down; he begins to think that the life of a pop musician might be the thing for him.

About the soundtrack:
The Stardust soundtrack album was released in October 1974 on Ronco Records to coincide with the opening of the film.

The film, and its accompanying soundtrack album, was a hit at the box office and by 1985 had earned an estimated £525,000 in profit.


The story:
Following on from the events in the late 1950s/early 60s of That'll Be The Day, the characters Jim Maclaine, Jeanette and J.D. have moved into the mid 1960s/early 70s and the growing career of aspiring rock star MacLaine.

MacLaine has assembled a group of musicians and formed the band The Stray Cats, he seeks out his old friend Mike to become the band’s road manager. Mike acquires a new van, accommodation and a recording session for the group.

MacLaine soon becomes a massive star and is plunged into the centre of media attention. He indulges in casual sex and heavy drug use and the film documents the detrimental effects of this success on MacLaine and his relationship with his friends and colleagues. In particular, MacLaine’s long-standing friendship with manager Mike is now soured by money and success.
