Marvin, Tony Meehan and Bruce Welch, Richard O’Sullivan and Melvyn Hayes. Directed by: Sidney J. Furie. A swinging sixties British film musical, featuring Cliff Richard as a young singer, Robert Morley as his father and Carole Gray as the love interest. Legendary guitar group The Shadows perform as his band. A classic ‘the show must go on’ story, in which a group of young people find that their youth club is in danger of being flattened to make way for a new office block unless they can pay off the new owner, a ruthless property tycoon. To help raise the cash, Nicky, played by Cliff Richard, records a song and his friends broadcast it via a pirate radio station, calling him “The Mystery Singer” - the plan works and interest in their up and coming show is heightened by this new but unknown heart-throb. However, Nicky has an even bigger secret that he cannot share, even with his girlfriend Toni. Filmed in immaculate Eastmancolor with ambitious use of crane shots, the film stands out among the typical British pop vehicle of its day, paving the way for generations of youthful musicals.
