It starred Bill Haley and the Comets, the Platters and Freddie Bell and his Bellhops. Add a few straight actors, a thin plot, some romantic scenes and a load of good, danceable rock 'n' roll songs. And there it was. Success. And it ushered in a flood of other rock films. 'Don't Knock the Rock' with Bill Haley and the Comets, Little Richard, the Treniers and boss jock Alan Freed - the man who's claimed to have coined the phrase 'rock 'n' roll'.

BILL HALEY AND THE COMETS: Fathering the Teen Film cult 'Girl Can't Help It' had Jayne Mansfield, Fats Domino, Little Richard, the Platters, Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps, the Treniers, Abbey Lincoln and Eddie Cochran. 'Go Johnny Go', never released in Britain, included Alan Freed again, Jimmy Clanton, Eddie Cochran, Richie Valens and Chuck Berry. 'Blackboard Jungle' Came to England in 1955 with the foreword:"The scenes and events depicted here are fictional. The U.S is fortunate in having a school system that is a tribute to its faith in youth". And Elvis Presley made 'Jailhouse Rock' in 1957 - the JOHN L. beginning of his film career. About the same time James Dean - the only film star who was considered in the same breath as the rock 'n' roll stars - wiped himself out in a car crash. He had been the original Rebel Without a Cause - setting a pattern which was one of the few real influences on teenage culture. WATSON'S But like rock music itself, the film business couldn't go on with its big, bad image. And when classic rock died at the end ofthefifties,itsignalledsmaltz time- and American -International Pictures were right in there with the smaltz teenage film. It came as 'Beach Party' with clean-cut all American Frankie Aalon, Bob Cummings, Dorothy Malone and Annette Funicello. ALBUM And the baddies were really bad, and came in the form of Eric Von Zipper - the leader of a motorcycle gang. And, of course, Frankie boy triumps over Evil Eric. The market was suddenly full of wholesome American kids ON having sand kicked into their faces by the baddies - and, of course, in the end managing to defeat all those evil creeps. In the nicest possible way, of course. England wasn't withoutitssmaltz,either. Home-grown product included 'It's Trad Dad' with Helen Shapiro, and Cliff Richard taking a 'Summer Holiday' and being really a good kid DERAM in 'The Young Ones'. The reaction set in with 'A Hard Day's Night' - opened with a Royal Premiere at the London Pavilion on July 6, 1964. The Beatles became everyone's New Answer to the Marx Brothers. O SMLR 1061 0 DMLR 1061 It was a new type of Teen Film. John was even rude! And he was rude without being a baddie. Rock was back and the 12- Stereo or Mono LP cinema had to adjust again - which didn't mean Billy Fury in 'I'veGotta Horse' or those endless American -International Deram Records Decca House Albert Embankment London SE1 pictures about beach parties.

Paul JonesleftManfred Mann and made 'Privilege' and 'The Committee',RingoStarr made 'Candy'and'The Magic Christian' and John Lennon made 'How I Won the War' with Dick Lester, the man behind the success of 'Hard Day's Night' and 'Help!'. John Lennon and Yoko Ono also went in for more personal films. Such as 'Rape', Self Portrait' and 'Two Virgins' - none of which have ever made the major cinema circuits. And in the case of 'Self Portrait' probably never will - it shows in glorious technicolour what you can see on the cover of their 'Two PETER FONDA stars in "Easy Rider," Columbia's contribution Virgins' album. tothecult of teenageorientated cinema.
