For some unexplained reason, somewhere over the Atlantic Idle became Idol and the American banker, William Bendix, became the star ahead of Anthony Newley, Lionel Jeffries and the ubiquitous David Lodge. Reflecting the situation of poor Terry Dene as a pop singer who fell foul of National Service - but with a happier outcome - this movie features Newley's debut as both singer and composer - although he had served in most of the armed services several times during his earlier career - and has long been on my wish list. It does not disappoint, reflecting the times and providing amusing roles for Sid James, Harry Fowler, Bernie Winters and many other familiar faces. Now if only someone would release Hieronymous..... BTW those wishing to see Bill Bendix in full song and dance mode can enjoy A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court [not the remake].

This film was released in 1959,it was of Anthony Newley's good
dry humour british comedys with four wonderful rock and roll songs on the
soundtrack, Ive Waited So Long, Idle Rock A Boogie, and the last
one Saturday Rock A Boogie. Amazon has done a great job by at last
releasing this movie on DVD.Buy it while you have the chance in case it
will disapear for who knows how long.

Early Anthony Newly movie based on Elvis's drafting in US Army.
Newly is very good as the "idol" and supported well by British stalwarts like Lionel Jeffries,David Lodge.
Small part for the great comedian Bernie Winters and Anne Aubrey is stuning as the "love interest"
Newly was a major talent who commenced his career with child parts in U.K. in plenty films.
Only criticism are the songs are overproduced and a bit "corny" but the film is very entertaining.
I've been after this one for a long time.
Really happy it is now available to all of us on DVD.
