Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Grotesquely inept and dated pop musical featuring Gerry and the Pacemakers which is so bad that it doesn't even make it as nostalgia. Shot in a very short space of time to cash in on the Liverpool sound; the other pop personalities involved are Cilla Black, Jimmy Savile and the Fourmost. Ken Tynan, whose film reviewing was not always so succinct and penetrating, gave it the most accurate five-word review ever in The Observer when he called it 'a little glimpse into hell'.Author: DP
