girls town

a surprising good juvenile delinquent film with some great rock and roll songs including paul anka's "lonely boy" and a cameo performance by the platters. mamie van doren stars and co-sings the title tune with anka and is sent to girl's town on a false charge. a young mel torme acts opposite as a teen thug with elinor donahue as mamie's troubled sister. ray anthony plays an investigating cop as donahue's kidnapping at the hands of torme and a drag race are the climax. a lot of jive talk by mamie and other girl inmates makes this an enjoyable vehicle. an excellent and interesting look at the 1950's teen flicks in marvelous black and white and worth 90 minutes of your time. mamie looks great! and her acting isn't bad either.

excellent elvis cd set

one of the best cd sets on Elvis I've very seen. The book included is worth the price. There hundreds of pictures from 1954-55, many I've never seen. Plus the captions almost always tells who's in the photos, even some of the fans names. The live portion of the cd's has every performance that's on tape, several songs that are rare; such as Little Mama, early tapes of Shake, Rattle and Roll, Fool Fool Fool, Hearts of Stone and I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone. If you're an Elvis fan, this set is a must! If you're not a devoted fan, but like good old rockabilly you won't be disappointed. It's the best cd set ever of Elvis pre-RCA.
