It starred Sean Sullivan as Tony and Hillary Turk as Lola. Both the film and the musical obviously include the original and iconic “Copacabana” by Barry Manilow.

You probably mean the 1985 musical film starring Barry Manilow, wherein he plays an aspiring songwriter who falls for a showgirl named Lola. That film was built directly out of the lyrics to Manilow's smash-hit song "Copacabana," though in the song he's a bartender instead of a songwriter.

December 3, 1985 - Yes, in this day and age a film couldn't be updated and gives a modern twists, I don't think the song was completely told. But Barry Manilow is that what makes it. His music deserves a full musical (like mamma Mia) but just enjoy it for what it is, it's cringy, it's poorly edited but it has something and beautiful beautiful music. ... I have loved Barry Manilow's music since 1978. Someone really should have told him that he cannot act as his performance in this is embarrassing and excruciating to watch. His movie career hardly took off since, did it?

December 20, 2021 -
Hiya! For the past month or so, I've been obsessed with listening to Barry Manilow's song "Copacabana" (At the Copa.) And, after scrolling through article after article about the man himself and the creation of the song, I found out that there was a movie made surrounding the plot of the song.
I instantly knew I HAD to watch this thing, but there's one problem. I cannot. find. this. movie. ANYWHERE. I've been actively searching for a while now, but I can't find the movie itself. I've been reviews, posters, even a trailer on YouTube, but no movie. I checked archives--no movie. Basically, here's what I know.
The movie aired on CBS in 1985 as a direct to TV movie. Barry Manilow himself stars in it and is in practically all the promotional material.
There's been a few showings of it in theatres, but the last one I could find was in 2018 through a blogpost.
The thing is definitely out there somewhere. There are plenty of reviews for it on websites like IMDB or other tinier review sites.
If anyone could help me find it, I'd be very thankful! I need to put this song-related obsession to rest. Thanks!
