“Spinning Gold” (***1/2 out of four) was a first-rate biographical drama about legendary music-business executive Neal Bogart (Jeremy Jordan) showing his tough upbringing in Brooklyn to his overcoming incredible odds (and debt) in founding Casablanca Records which went onto become a blockbuster record label before his untimely (and early) death at age 39. Filled with wonderful period detail and music that plunges you right into the heart of the 1970’s and anchored by Jordan who is rock-solid in the lead role and guided by superb direction from Bogart’s son (Timothy Scott Bogart). Touching end credits show the real Neal Bogart on various interviews and talk shows.
