Arch Hall is one of our fine actors. And the girl! Wow! A really enjoyable hour and 27 minutes. Can't wait for this guy's next picture.

Seeing the bad reviews this film got made me want to watch it all the more. This movie is great. It's 1962 and a pretty darned accurate representation of the record business, especially in that era. Now...this is a cheesy movie, don't get me wrong. Just as cheesy as the record industry. Justin Beiber is a hit right now...ok? It's almost like Frank Zappa made this movie. It's a perfect early 1960's drive-in flick...NOT STAR WARS! The music is actually really good and the cheesy fake band was a blast. The fake fan club kids were just as real as real fake fan club kids. The manager is a perfect…

this movie had to be written on someone's toenails for all the adversity one has watching it with any intent to be entertained, and if anyone made any money off it it should be returned, but what the heck? its free now!

Arch Hall, Jr., Actor(seven movies that I know of, not a great actor), musician(saw him the same night I saw Johnny Rivers at Whisky-a-Go-Go in Calif), aviator(believe it or not, up to a Boeing 747), author(haven't read it or them). The movie, pretty good tunes, rest sucks. If you have some time to waste, I really mean waste!, then watch it, otherwise, check out the other movies here.

This movie was really great - except not. I would actually debit this movie 3 stars to make up for the time I have lost forever from my life, but it is not allowed. The vintage Fender Jaguar deserves one star.
