 Review
Connors plays a host of a TV teen dance party show, where he has brought in city gang members who have now been influenced to reform their lives.Throughout the film Fats Domino sings three songs. Big Joe Turner sings two and his band plays a couple more as dance background. A group of old fogies including Margaret Dumont insist on getting the show and R&R banned. It leads to a trial that is telecast, played for humour.
There are still plenty of "useful idiot" liberals who disdain the "McCarthy era" and all these kinds of subjects, and make clever comments against it. That's not my approach.
The movie was the third produced by the new American-International studio formed by Samuel Arkoff and John (Jack) Nicholson, and it was successful. It is categorized as public domain now, which suggests that it was never even formally copyrighted at the time.
There are DVDs available from private sellers.
Mike Connors starred in the TV detective series Tightrope ~1959 and later Mannix. He used the name Touch Connors in a couple of movies.
