From the beginning of rock and roll through the end of the beach party era, youngsters could get their fill of top musical artists and those who never went further than one single, an era I calculate approximately 1955 to 1968. Like many of those films, this has a shell of a plot, but when you've got the lineup of this one (most memorably Fats Domino), that hardly matters.
Most of the musical acts were very obscure to me, some more talented than others. There's a typical movie musical comic number provided by Rose Marie and Hans Conreid, corny but cute, and Gogi Grant has a swell voice too. The story surrounds young music executive William Reynolds efforts to modernize father Bill Goodwin's company, basically a generational thing, and a story so obviously resolved. A nice bit of late 50's nostalgia but outside of the musical guests, not worth searching out.
