ABSTRACT

The forbidden fruit of leer-ics, inflammatory newspaper items, Elvis from the waist up, gritty rhythms, and, most importantly, an emerging teenage subculture all fueled the Golden Age of Rock. Viewing many of the movies at the drive-in was akin to watching submarine races. The under-eighteen-year-olds, with increasing spending power, were not to be ignored. Christy confronts Natalie. Despite the recrimination, the club owner remains smitten. He unrealistically believes that saving the club will rescue his love life, and foolishly enters into a game of "high card draw" with Stanley, losing the club to the gambling man. The ninety-minute Harry Ephron film previewed in Hollywood the second week of 1958. For a "personality" presentation, Sing, Boy, Sing received surprisingly good West Coast reviews. A sorority trying to raise money falsely assumed they'd booked The Beatles for a fundraising concert in Paramount's Girls on the Beach. The importance of the beach party series should not be underestimated.
