I'm sure you have lots of great memories of the time. <br /><br />I totally agree with you, IF they had written a new screenplay instead of recycling "Rock Around The Clock" and put more focus on Chubby (nothing personal) then it could have been a much better movie. <br /><br />IF I hadn't already watched "Rock Around The Clock", I probably, also, would have enjoyed "Twist Around The Clock" more.<br /><br />I have already reviewed "Hootenanny Hoot", there's a link in the sidebar to the right. I just got a copy of "Hootenanny a Go-Go", which I understand to be a disaster of a movie.B.

"Twist Around the Clock" was meant ...Gee. "Twist Around the Clock" was meant to be a fun movie. The version you write about seems to be a horror show -- we me as the villan. <br />As I have often said, the real screenplay should have been based on the true story, with Chubby Checker as the focus and catalyst of the twist phenomenom. Two facts: "Twist Around the Clock" grossed $10-million dollars in the USA alone -- a staggering return in 1961, and my recording of "Twist Around the Clock" was Number One in Boston.<br />If you want to review a truly horrible screen musical, watch "Hootenanny Hoot."<br />Thanks for reviving an old memory on this 'the 50th Anniversary of Chubby Checkers Twist'.<br />(1960-2010) -- Clay ColeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985705671920942944noreply@blogger.com
