Although the low budget quality of the film is unfortunate it captures true Americana at its best. Happy, energetic youth dressing to the hilt, dancing with some style, and more worried about going to the dance than trying to buy a joint. Ike in the White House to protect us, no Viet Nam, no Watergate, no 911, and automobiles that were a work of art. The title song by Jimmy Cavallo is the essence of Rock and Roll..Young kids dancing with their peers in a simple but synchronized rhythm releasing their innermost feelings while having fun. And Alan Freed, what more can you say? The pioneer of a genre that helped break the shackles of a segregated culture. Although he was crucified for his efforts his smile on stage shows how happy he was to bring joy to the youth of America.
