Kenneth More's top billed byt the film is really a film about teens including Ray Brooks (familiar face) and David Hemmings who are sort of teddy boys in Bristol who wind up at a club. They play some instruments, sing songs only it's not really a musical. More is the local... choirmaster I think, who helps the kids. A little. His daughter Angela Douglas falls for Hemmings. More and Douglas started an affair during filming.
More looks old in this film, wearing a cardigan and sipping tea and playing the dad of a grown daughter. He was old. Clive Donner directed. The colour photography is lovely and it was all shot on location in Bristol. Everyone donated their fees because it was for the Duke of Edinburgh scheme which I associate with camping and orienteering but there's none of that here.
It's not bad. Like a social realist version of a Cliff Richard movie.
