Worth a look for "The Twist" Joey performs

If your feeling like early 60's nastalga, enjoyed "The Twist" and the swing era, this movie will hold something for you. The movie seems nothing more than a vessel for "The Starlighters" and their songs, which were charting well. The dancing by Joey Dee is a treat. The rest of the movie is a "B" grade, wholesome affair, the acting is bearable, though once I got a few minutes into the movie and picked up on the plot I was able to look past the self conscious acting and started to enjoy where the movie was taking me.

Jeri Lynn Frazer was cute in her first of only a few rolls in movies, and her only leading roll.

Charles Nelson Reilly was at his wacky best, if not a few notches past.

Throw in some crooners, music from the era, some dancing, a boat trip and what should have been good jokes, ordinarily delivered and you have "Two Tickets to Paris"

You may enjoy this if you were around at the time and remember the culture.
