Phil, a part-time truck driver and singer who wears his pants far too high, meets a feisty platinum blonde who challenges him to a drag race through Griffith Park. When he is caught and loses his license, he meets up with the sketchy Frank Wooster who offers him a job singing in his new nightclub.
What makes this film notable is that it is the first film score for John Williams. Maybe it is not something he is proud of, but I would love to see the soundtrack released if it has not been already. It is good to appreciate all the work of a great composer, even the work that might not be considered great.
Because the film ended up on "Mystery Science Theater", people assume it is bad. But it actually seems to be a decent film. Maybe it could use a little polish, but it is a fun movie and really seems to predate the 1960s AIP pictures.
