Plot
Summary: In the mid-80s, three women (each
with an attorney) arrive at the office of New York
entertainment manager, Morris Levy. One is an L.A.
singer, formerly of the Platters; one is a petty thief
from Philly; one teaches school in a small Georgia
town. Each claims to be the widow of long-dead doo-wop
singer-songwriter Frankie Lyman, and each wants years
of royalties due to his estate, money Levy has never
shared. During an ensuing civil trial, flashbacks
tell the story of each one's life with Lyman, a boyish,
high-pitched, dynamic performer, lost to heroin. Slowly,
the three wives establish their own bond.
