Description
Cohen Film Collection introduces this Fifties British rock and rolls classic, a fast-paced story about a cheap, opportunistic Soho talent agent who always looks for the quick buck. He's glib and he's flashy, a bluffer with a ready talent for the quick double-cross. When he picks up an amateur singer and bongo player in a Soho espresso bar, he uses a little bit of luck and tons of chutzpah to transform the kid into a highly -regarded international singing sensation. The restoration from the original negative was done in collaboration with the British Film Institute and its Unlocking Film Heritage program. It is the full and original 1959 theatrical version, which includes several songs that were cut out of the later and more commonly available 1962 version that was released at the time to capitalize on the popularity of Cliff Richard.
