    Now here's one to have the critics at each other's throats. In the blue corner are those who consider this dose of rock 'n' roll to be a nostalgic delight, blessed with just the right mix of grit and gloss. In the red we have those who think it's a glam sham, viewing the 1950s through glitter-tinted spectacles. No matter where your sympathies lie, it's hard to avoid the fact that the film is beginning to show its age, but David Essex brings a certain swagger to the character of Jim MacLaine, while Ringo Starr and Billy Fury score in key cameos.
