Overview

In 1950s America, teenage rebellion comes easy when something like rock ‘n’ roll is viewed as sinful. Looking to have a good time while they’re young, Susan, Cookie and Tony—three teenagers from a small town—start a nightclub where host Danny Klay introduces the newest rock ‘n’ roll talent, and everyone can dance the night away. Of course, not everyone in town is happy with the new establishment.

Viewing Notes

I’m going to try and catch up on all of the Rebel Highway films that appeared on Showtime in the mid-90s. All loose remakes of 50s American International Pictures classics, at least in title, by current directors. This is the second I’ve seen after the fantastic ROADRACERS. Hopefully I can track them all down. I would totally by a box set.

This has some good tunes, dancing and Rene Zellweger “singing”.
