Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Woodyanders Humble, yet charismatic rock singer Arnie Haines (an engaging performance by the smooth-voiced Alan Dale) and his band return to his small country hometown only to discover that crusty killjoy mayor George Bagley (an amusingly cranky Pierre Watkin) has banned rock'n'roll music because it's sinful. So Arnie gets a bunch of fellow rock bands together to stage a concert in order to prove that rock'n'roll is okay and acceptable. Granted, the plot is pretty corny (and was later rip offed almost thirty years later in "Footloose"!), but director Fred E. Sears effectively maintains a brisk pace and upbeat tone throughout. Better still, the rock acts featured herein are uniformly excellent and enjoyable: Bill Haley and His Comets totally smoke on the jaunty instrumental "Goofing Around," the Treniers have a ball with the infectiously cheery "One of These Days," and legendary rock'n'roll wildman Little Richard almost steals the whole show with rousing and spirited renditions of his classic big hits "Tutti Fruitti" and "Long Tall Sally." The lively dancing is likewise quite stirring and impressive, with a thrilling and dynamic stage production of the Charleston rating as the definite highlight. Moreover, both the rock acts and the kids alike are extremely nice, clean-cut, wholesome and even inoffensive, thereby giving this picture a certain quaint charm that's impossible to either resist or dislike. Popular rock disc jockey Alan Freed acquits himself well as Arnie's crafty opportunistic manager. Patricia Hardy contributes a winningly spunky turn as smart and sweet teenager Francine MacLaine. An immensely fun flick.

unclerussie I always liked this film. Not a bad plot, the acting is better than average and there is, of course, some great music. Bill Haley and Little Richard provide some real excitement, plus here's a chance to see the great Treniers and talented pop singer Alan Dale in rare screen appearances. The legendary Alan Freed plays a sometimes over zealous manager and is terrific in the role. Rock and Roll fans should not pass this one by!

Michael O'Keefe A rock 'n' roll singer played by Alan Dale takes time out from his busy schedule to vacation back in his home town. The town's teens are there to meet the train; but the Mayor of Melonville warns the singer that his kind is not thought of too highly. DJ Alan Freed schedules a big charity dance to convince a newspaper columnist there is no harm in the new form of music.Also in the cast are Jana Lund, Patricia Hardy and Gail Ganley. Spotlight musical acts are: Bill Haley & the Comets, Little Richard, the Treniers and Dave Appell & the Apple Jacks.Low budget "B" flick produced by 'king of the quickies', Sam Katzman. Interesting to watch Haley & the Comets and Little Richard perform.

Suzanne Frasuer This film is very much of it's time. Sam Katzman produced a number of films featuring record stars and this is one of the better ones. The star is Alan Dale, who was one of the leading pop singers of the day. Dale was in the forefront of the post-Sinatra generation of crooners (which included Vic Damone, Tony Bennett, etc.), and his versatility ranged from opera to Rock 'n' Roll. This diversity made him a perfect choice for the role of a rock singer with a "serious" side. Dale's romantic interest is played by Pat Hardy, who soon afterward married actor Richard Egan. The main reason for these films was, of course, the records acts --- most of whom were seldom if ever seen on network television. Bill Haley and the Comets were well known, but outside of the major urban areas Little Richard was not even played on most RADIO stations (they opted for Pat Boone's version of "Long Tall Sally"!). However, thanks to films like this we could finally experience performers like Little Richard. Two numbers by The Treniers are another high point. Typical of these films, there's not much of a plot, but its a lot of fun.
