Oh all right then, the scriptwriter was never in any danger of having to cancel all other arrangements on Oscar night, but this is still a happy, exuberant snapshot of a time when young people could take life much less seriously. A testament to the talents of Billy Fury who had the difficult task of being the main focus with little acting experience, and not least to the remarkable Helen Shapiro with her resonant, clear voice. Highlight must be the number with Fury exhorting everyone to Twist Twist Twist in Max Bacon's nightclub. Is it possible to sit still watching that? Winner certainly made many worse pictures.
