“Inside this documentary beats the heart of rock and roll. From the underprivileged musicians who see this as their only way out to the fans who see their music as a reason to live. Everybody who wants to get into this business should see this movie. Because this is what it's about. You'll laugh, but you'll be touched.” - Bob Lefsetz, Lefsetz Letter
“A classic” - Austin Chronicle
INTO THE NIGHT: THE BENNY MARDONES STORY is the story of a 1980s two time one-hit wonder ('Into the Night') whose reckless lifestyle caused him to be blackballed from the music industry. On the edge of a career failure and the verge of suicide, Benny Mardones reemerged a superstar ...in Syracuse, New York. Often humorous, and deeply touching, INTO THE NIGHT: THE BENNY MARDONES STORY depicts the ugly side of the corporate machine known as the music business, the love a performer can share with his fans and the power of a great song.
