I likewise concur. This film is just a whole lot of fun. Bill Haley and His Comets are in excellent form throughout.

I think this is seldom broadcast. It seems that the majority of today's population wasn't yet born when this movie was made and those that were didn't like rock and roll music to begin with.
Alas, we were all born too late.

I didn't expect much, but it is good. The story is hackneyed, but the dialogue is great.

Are you kidding? I LOVE to post on blogs, get my own opinion read...always like to get the last word in so no more posting here. Seriously...

A prime example of early rock and roll, and a little bit about how show business BIZ works in the real world.

A lot of the songs are now classics known to anyone over 40. I certainly have heard the hits dozens of times over the years.

And let me tell you, friends, they don't write songs like those anymore! Morst the pity.

And how many of you, when you hear the title song, remember the first couple of seasons of Happy Days.

Yeah, I'm old...48 in 10.
