- Copacabana is a 1985 American made-for-television musical film based on the 1978 song of the same title by Barry Manilow. It aired on CBS on December 3, 1985. The film's script was written by James Lipton, with additional songs written by Manilow. Directed by Waris Hussein, it starred Manilow himself, in his acting debut, as Tony, an aspiring songwriter, and Annette O'Toole as Lola, an aspiring singer who falls in with the wrong crowd. A soundtrack album, Copacabana: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Album, was released for the film. The film also inspired a 1990 stage show at Caesars Atlantic City, which was based heavily on the film, as well as a 1994 musical, also called Copacabana, which was based more loosely on the film, which played in London's West End and elsewhere.
