 The Cool Ones (1967)
Hallie Rogers (the luscious Debbie Watson) is a frustrated
go-go dancer itching for her big break in show business. She is
promised a spot on a music show called Whizbam (a clever
send-up of Shindig and Hullaballo) but the studio
bosses keep passing her over.
So Hallie loses it, escapes from her go-go cage, and steals the
microphone from Glenn Campbell who is singing on-camera at the
time. The audience goes wild, imitating her moves, and when a
misdirected camera sends a message out to the nation, a new dance
craze is born - The Tantrum.
Teen Tycoon Tony Krum (Roddy McDowall) begins to manage her
booming career while she hooks up with teen idol Cliff Donner (Gil
Peterson) to forms a duo.
This is a phenomenal Hollywood pop confection, with songs by
the legendary Lee Hazelwood (of Nancy Sinatra Boots fame) and
performances by The Leaves (the first group to score a hit with a
version of Hey Joe) and underage sensations The Bantams.
Go, baby, go!
