Another mid-50's rock n' roll exploitation quickie, made famous because of the appearance of both Bill Haley and The Comets and Little Richard.
Interestingly, Bill Haley covers Little Richard's "Rip It Up" in one sequence.
Also on hand are the Treniers who's antics nearly steal the show.
Finally, for swing dancers, you get to see that '50's generation of pro Lindy Hop dancers doing that Smooth Style that they used often in these movies...even though real teenagers during the '50's did a much more simplified version...or versions of swing dancing, depending on where they lived. (For reference, check out "Rock Baby Rock It!" which is also on this channel.)
The plot? Rock n' roll singer Alan Dale (Alan Dale...a Sinatra/Como type crooner?!) comes back to his home town and causes a stir when the teens want him to put on a show...while the "square" adults feel it all leads up to juvenile delinquency. "Ripped from today's headlines!", and yet, it was also the plot of many other rock n' roll flicks made during this time.
The acting is wooden, but you really want to hear and see the other rock n' roll acts, the swing dancers (including "The Winners of The Harvest Moon Contest Jimmy and Joveda Williams!"), and that oh so hot Jana Lund (who also was in "High School Hellcats" and Elvis' "Loving You."
One thing that is strange by our modern standards is the fact that even though most of the acts are African American, with the exception of the previously mentioned Williams dance couple...the whole audience is caucasian. (Kind of like seeing a rap video with NO black kids at all.)
Well, it was the '50's, and the Civil Rights Movement was just getting started.
Still, an interesting time capsule of fashions and attitudes of the '50's...b-movie style.
All that's missing is the duck and cover drills!

Lyrics:
She's such a lovely sunny day,
She makes your clouds evaporate,
The condensation really pays,
When she makes you feel this way,
Like the blue sky up above,
She clears your mind with her love,
Even your shadow gets caught up,
So why does it always have to go?
Every place I go its wrote in stone,
That there is two sides of every story,
So I forget that a sunny day,
Is ended when the sun starts falling,
Or even when storm clouds start forming.
She's such a lovely sunny day,
Almost surprised its not been claimed,
Tell your friends who are out to play,
That there's no chance she might change.
Every race I run,
I've kept to the post,
But then thats another story,
So I forget that a sunny day,
Is ended when the sun starts falling,
Or even when storm clouds start forming.
She's such a lovely sunny day,
Ended when the sun starts falling,
She's such a lovely sunny day,
Ended when storm clouds start forming,
She's such a lovely sunny day,
Ended when the sun starts falling,
