What do Donna Summer, Parliament, Gladys Knight, The Isley Brothers, The Village People, and Bill Withers all have in common with the rock band KISS? They all rose to their musical heights under the watchful ear of the music industry's most colorful and brilliant music producer, Neil Bogart, founder of Casablanca Records, the most successful independent record company of all time… Along with a rag tag team of young music lovers, Casablanca Records would rewrite history and change the music industry forever. Their mix of creative insanity, a total belief in each other and the music they were creating, shaped our culture and ultimately defined a generation. In a story so unbelievable that it can only be true, comes the motion picture event of the musical journey of Neil Bogart and how his Casablanca Records created the greatest soundtrack of our lives.

Spinning Gold belongs to a series of modern music biopics that go back to the 70s. The main band here is Kiss, Neil Bogart, and the record company Casablanca. It's all very stylized, with Bogart's descendants involved in the film, so it definitely can't offer anything other than a fairy tale. When you look at it all around, I would much prefer a separate biography of Donna Summer, because the story of a black American woman who became the queen of disco after a German tour of the musical "Hair" seemed downright brilliant to me. But while the real Donna was tall and slim, in this film she is small and curvy.
