song by Barry Manilow

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!
