More than just a movie...!,, 12 Oct 2007
I don't care about the movie itself but I consider it as a real
cult movie showing an era when Rock & Roll was just starting and kids
were kind of innocent. The "raw" musical interpretations are so
well done by the various artists that, while watching the movie,
you're completely transported to those wonderful good old early
authentic Rock & Roll days. Elvis had just come out with his first
big hit when this was filmed and the "inventor" of the expression
"Rock & Roll" Mr. Alan Freed is an important part of this cult movie,
probably the best one to describe those unforgettable days we lived
through at the age Tuesday Weld made her film debut.

I suppose every collector of the 50's rock'n'roll music is very well familiar with this movie. You do not buy it for the suspense or interesting plot, you just want to see and hear the idols of your innocent early years. As such it is quite OK, but one wishes the picture quality was better. And that is really the problem. I mean you know these songs by heart and even can hear them in HIFI from the CDs or original vinyl at home, but if you buy a movie - it means visuals. And the visuals are quite bad actually. Sorry, but this is why I can not give it more then 2 stars....but, you decide.

The Storyline is pathetic AND dreadful. The Acting even worse, particularly Tuesday Weld, YUK.
The Music, however, is FABULOUS!!!!, which is why one spends good money on this film, in the first place, Assuming you are of a particular age, like me. (That age is my business.)
