There's been many movies about the lives of pop/rock stars.Wouldn't the story of Steve Harley make a really fascinating and interesting film? His early life battling polio, the newspaper work as a journalist,the folk clubs and the gradual and determined rise to fame.Even thou Steve isn't as huge as stars such as Bowie. Elton John.Freddie Mercury etc i reckon it would make a brilliant drama either for TV or Film.
I've seen a lot of music/entertainment bios, and though at this point I sound biased, Steve's story was one of the things music aside that made me such a fan in the first place. Endlessly facinating and compelling. Much more interesting than most Rock personalities, I think.

His brother would be better. He doesn't have that broken nose and he's much leaner, (well...*was* leaner anyway) Luke Wilson. That's his name. Maybe they could find an unknown? Who knows! It's fun thinking about though.
Also, I know Make Me Smile was used on Hugh Laurie's show "House."
