Svengali Genre/Type:  Drama Artistic/ Production Styles:   Made for Cable, Made for TV Major Cast:   Peter O'Toole, Jodie Foster, Elizabeth Ashley Director:   Anthony Harvey Plot Summary: Peter O'Toole goes over-the-top as a has-been rocker who mentors a young female singer (Jodie Foster), and as she becomes increasingly succesfull, she also becomes increasingly dependent on her teacher-protector. This version of the old story was made for cable television. Poor adaptation of Pygmalion to music. Even so, worth a watch, if only to see Jodie Foster as a pop star.
