| User ReviewNathan SI love the song "The Young Ones" and the sentimental nostalgia of times past.A bit weak on the story line,but hey we are talking about innocence at it's best.God Bless Cliffy. |
| User ReviewFrank BCliff is adorable in this! I love his performance of "Nothing's Impossible". Haha and the fight scene near the end is a classic! Cliff + Karate = hilarious |
| User ReviewClarissa Ti love e song...but i think e female lead a little nt pretty... |
| User ReviewIona CAh, love it! A classic British musical. Cliff Richard was Britain's "Elvis", famous before Elvis hit the scene! Great songs that one just wants to sing and sing and sing, team spirit and morals. A good, clean and fun movie. |
| User ReviewBruno VThis Cliff-movie from '61-'62 i think you can compare it with " Footloos " from the 80's ...Easy story with some great songs from 55 years ago ! SOMDVD |
| User ReviewGreg WBack in the days when Cliff was a fun act with catchy tunes he starred in this colourful musical which may be contrived and squeaky clean but has immense simple charm. When Cliff's father Robert Morley buys his youth club in order to build an office block on the site our signing hero and his pals (including Melvyn Hayes and Richard O'Sullivan) decide to out on a fundraising show - just like that! ("Who'll direct?" "You've been to drama school haven't you?" "Yeah - no problem!") Amazing that they can cobble together a polished production for next to nothing in less than a week but this is a film where reality is best left at the door. Just enjoy the carefree vibrant optimism and wonder at the excellent cinemascope camerawork of Douglas Slocombe while director Sidney J Furie shows some inventive signs of the talent that was to blossom in The Ipcress File 4 years later. Good too to see appearances from Rita Webb and Robertson Hare - both always raise a smile. |
| User ReviewRichard YMaybe I was a bit too young when I saw this, a few good tunes only. |

| User ReviewPrivate UTerrible. His acting is something to be desired especially some of the dance moves. I went to bed half way through. |
