The David Cassidy Story

Why is it that it seems no one in Hollywood can make a TV movie that is historically accurate? Forget the performances and technical aspects. I enjoyed this film but why don't today's TV filmmakers do any historical research? When David is giving his famous Rolling Stone interview, which took place while the Partridge Family was still on the air, the song 'Hot Blooded' by Foreigner is on the radio. The last episode of the Partridge Family aired in August of 1974 but 'Hot Blooded' didn't come out till 1978!

After David learns of his father's death, which occurred in 1976, the next scene shows David in a bar having a drink. The sub-title reads 'One Year Later' as David watches Oliver North testifying at the Iran Contra hearings on TV. This didn't take place until 1987! That's eleven years later guys! It seems there are TV Movie makers that either need to study their history or learn to add better. A good picture but don't write your history reports based on it.

You can tell that David had his hand in this and spent some time on it.

I liked the "real" take on things (relationship with father, the concerts, all the chicks, drugs, etc) instead of the other bubble gum versions.

Everyone seemed to get their characters down well. Andy did a great job of mimicking David's gestures, speech patterns, the sighing, etc. He had to have spent time with Cassidy getting all of that down.

This is a good version of behind-the-scenes Partridge/Cassidy. All in all, I've got a better impression of Cassidy...he has lived through what very few people ever get to go through. It must have been surreal to live through that.

I watched this show on TV and it was nice and interesting. It went by in a flash, it didn't seem to have much detail about the people in the story. I thought there would be more of Susan Dey's character in it. I saw Come on Get Happy: The Partridge Family story and it showed that both Susan and David liked each other and wanted to go out. In the story it showed that he wasn't really into her like that, just as a sister. So, I was hoping to find out about all that. Also, it didn't have David and Danny hanging out like I heard they did do. But, it had wonderful songs and you understood what it was about. It was really interesting learning about David's life, because he is such a wonderful singer, my favorite!

I saw this movie in DVD version. Well, first of all, I would like to say that Kavovitz choice was really great, cos' he looks like David Cassidy and sometimes we could make some confusion about who is who. But there is some errors in the movie. For example, in one scene we could see David in 1973 tour and in another one, we see him celebrating his 21th anniversary... We all know that David was born in 1950, so he should be celebrating his 23th anniversary... Other thing that I realized is that David begun to wear the shell's necklace around 1973 or 1974, not in 1970!!! But despite of these details, the movie is interesting, soft and very nice, showing the career of one most important pop idol of the 70's. I can say that I felt myself very happy and thrilled when I saw that surprising ending... I almost cried!!!

I just finished watching "The David Cassidy Story". Andrew Kavovit gave an outstanding performance as Cassidy.At times I thought it was really him. He had him down to a T. The movie itself was good. It's a shame what happened to him after his Partridge Family stint. When you see what fame can do to a person, it makes you be thankful that being a nobody(like myself) can have it's advantages. I was a "Partridge Family" fan years ago & still listen to there music to this day on CD. I also have two David Cassidy solo CD's. If you read this David, I commend you on a very fine life story of yourself. Sorry about your Dad. Your appearance at the end with Andrew was a nice added touch to this well done story..... Was a little disappointed that "Reuben Kincaid" was not mentioned in it.
