Pop
musical based on youth culture.
Nicky Black (Cliff Richard) spends his evenings and weekends
honing his entertainment skills with his pals at Simpkins,
the local youth club. He has a good but competitive relationship
with his boss, his upper-crust, business-minded father,
Hamilton Black (Robert Morley), that's tested to the limit
when Black buys the youth club plot and announces his intention
to flatten it and replace it with a business centre.
Black has no idea that his son hangs out with these 'ruffians'
and they, in turn, have no idea that he's Nicky's father!
Nicky, girlfriend Toni (Carole Gray) and a cast of musical
local youths decide to stage a variety show to raise the
money needed to save their beloved shack from the demolition
men. All is going according to plan, until Black senior
finds out about Dorinda (Sonya Cordeau), their star surprise
guest vocalist, and steals her away from the show. With
their hopes of survival dashed, the gang devise a plan to
steal airtime from the BBC to promote both their club and
Nicky's undoubted talents with pop music. The show is staged
to raise the cash and poor old Hamilton is kidnapped to
keep him from stopping it taking place.

General
Sixties culture film in which four youths from London's
East End are put on trial at the Old Bailey for for killing
a garage attendant. Because of their teddy boy clothes
people assume the worst and the prosecution argues accordingly.
The film balances this with an excellent case from the
defence counsel. The setting is authentic and the film
presents a serious examination of British justice in the
light of the controversy surrounding capital punishment
at that time, leading to the eventual abolition of the
death penalty in 1965.
