Movie review - "Jamboree" (1957) **

 One of those late 50s rock musicals where they shove a bunch of acts together and have a loose story to keep you watching. The story here is about a male and female singer who are put together by their squabbling managers - that isn't a bad story though not much is done with it.

This was made by "Vanguard" a company of Subotsky and Rosenberg who later formed Amicus.

Musical acts include Jerry Lee Lewis (singing 'Great Balls of Fire') and a very young Frankie Avalon. Paul Carr, the male juvenile, looks about 50.

The film includes as many DJs as artists. Historically invaluable.
