Don't waste you money on Passport DVDs. The transfers are poorly done and to add insult to injury, they put a logo in the lower corner. If I want to see a logo, I'll watch cable. Nothing but a waste of money.

the story line is what to expect from early rock films - weak, but contains performances of a number or rock stars and of course includes a look at Alan Freed a real co-inventor and promoter of rock and roll.

This film is of very poor quality transfer and I would search for another company for a decent remaster.

I should have gone with the Remastered DVD, as this DVD is worse than the one I made using my old VHS tape of Rock Rock Rock. Many scenes are so light and bleached out that you can't see the detail of the faces or clothes. Apparently an old, worn copy of the film was used for this DVD transfer. The music used is great as always, but I recommend you purchase the remastered version. It is almost twice as much as this version, but it would be worth seeing this film restored, especially with all the rock 'n roll acts featured on this film. The plot is silly and mindless, the acting stiff and wooden (especially by a young Tuesday Weld), but all this adds to the innocence and charm of this cult classic. It's a shame the picture quality is so poor.

This D V D's Image transfer from the original film is extremely poor quality. So much so, that is should not be sold by Amazon.com. I returned the d v d.

This is a slice of early 60s Americana. Some of the better known acts of the day compliled into a fun DVD. The drama features a very young Tuesday Weld. (Connie Francis is doing her singing for her.) The plot is pretty simple and some of the acting is laughable but for some reason it adds to the overall appeal of this production of a less complicated time in our country. The footage of Frankie Lymon and Laverne Baker are rare jems that are worth the money you pay for the DVD by themselves.

A true classic from the dawn of Rock and Roll. In addition to featuring the lovely Tuesday Weld, this film delivers some seminal performances from the early giants of the genre. Most notable are Chuck Berry and the highly talented Little Frankie Lymon.

Adding to the nostalgic joy, the bonus feature, Rhythm and Blues Review, puts some of the talented, overlooked artists of the era on glorious display.

If you love the music that started it all, these two films are a must!

did i really pay to go see this at the movies??? but it did bring basck good memories
