About Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives!
In the sixties, Eddie and the Cruisers were the hottest band around. But the tragic death of its lead singer broke the band up...only Eddie is not dead. He works as a carpenter in Montreal, but his love of music forces him to create a new band which will have to struggle with its anonymity.
Directed by Jean-Claude Lord, Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives! leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Paré, Marina Orsini, Bernie Coulson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1989.
