American Hot Wax (The Story Of The Birth Of Rock n Roll) Allen F

This lively musical comedy pays tribute to the birth of rock & roll in the late 1950s and the instrumental role played by disc jockey Alan Freed who helped bring the new sound into vogue. Much of the story centers on the daring deejay's attempts to put on the very first live rock & roll stage show at the Paramount Theatre in Brooklyn. To do this he must overcome the protests of concerned and angry parents, conservatives, and local police. Several performers of the era appear in the film including Chuck Berry, and Jerry Lee Lewis. Songs included: Hot Wax Theme Rock & Roll Is Here to Stay Mr. Lee Maybe Hey Little Girl Reelin' and Rockin' Roll over Beethoven Why Do Fools Fall in Love? That Is Rock & Roll I Put a Spell on You Mr. Blue Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On Great Balls of Fire Sweet Little Sixteen That's Why Sincerely There Goes My Baby Hushabye Rave On Stay Tutti Frutti Zoom Little Star When You Dance Splish Splash Sea Cruise Goodnight, It's Time to Go Ripped from a VERY RARE commercial video cassette that was only issued for a few months in the early 80's. Perhaps the music rights have held this film from re-release?

I had to save up for quite awhile to get this film.

I can imagine, this is extremely rare, it must have taken quite a while to even find a copy... Anyway, thanks for making a torrent, I don't think Paramount will ever release this on DVD.

...this is not a comedy, it is a drama...
AMG wrote the synopsis, I doubt they viewed the film..
