Great Britain

Enter the crazy world of the fabulous '50s - hip coffee bars, beat girls, shady Soho nightclubs, kids living for kicks - and witness creation of a teen idol! A slick fast-talking small-time agent discovers Bert Rudge working in the sleazy Tom Tom Club - and a Star is born. Renamed Bongo Herbert he spectacularly takes them both into the higher reaches of Tin Pan Alley. For Bongo Herbert fame only brings romantic confusion and a growing dissatisfaction with the man who used every dirty trick in the book to move him up the show-biz ladder of success. But the boy can't help it! See Cliff Richard sing "LOVE", "THE SHRINE ON THE SECOND FLOOR" and "A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS". Hear The Shadows play "BONGO BLUES". And lots more! "Delightful mixture of fantasy and realism. Great stylish performance from Laurence Harvey; excellent script with witty dialogue. Fine entertainment". KEY MOVIE GUIDE. From the hit West End play by Wolf Mankowitz based on the real-life Tommy Steele rock 'n' roll phenomenon.
