Rock, Rock, Rock

Alan Freed, the famed DJ known as "the King of Rock 'n' Roll," stars in one of the first rock 'n' roll movies. "Rock, Rock, Rock!" captures all the excitement and energy of rock's early days with classic performances by Chuck Berry, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, LaVern Baker, The Moonglows, The Flamingos and other rock 'n' roll pioneers in this music filled movie. Tuesday Weld (with Connie Francis' voice dubbed for the songs) makes her film debut as Dori, a teenager who's left in desperate straits after her father closes her charge account. Poor Dori is forced to cook up a cockeyed scheme to raise enough money for a strapless prom dress. Freed, who plays himself, kicks the action into high gear when he announces a rock 'n' roll talent quest with the winners to appear on his television program.
