dave s @RT68722908 Dec 20, 2022 Rock Around the Clock is about as simplistic as a movie can be. The story is as thin as a wafer, the script is full of clunky dialogue, and the performances and production values are passable but uninspired. Shot during the dawn of rock and roll, the only real reason to watch are the performances from Bill Haley & the Comets and The Platters, as well as an appearance from rock impresario Alan Freed. Anything that happens between the performances feels like nothing more than filler, an excuse to extend a short concert film into a full-length feature. Suggestion: fast forward through everything but the music performances to make it worth the watch.

Features two performances by The Platters and a tour-de-force live rendition of the Comets instrumental "Rudy's Rock," which shows the Comets' frenetic showmanship in action.

It is however a nice time capsule for the bands depicted and their music whilst attempting to tell a story of the rise of the music genre. It does this well enough but it's a very simple plot to represent it. See more Mar 9, 2014 a very simple story, yet a fun movie to watch, especially for the performances. after all that all it was, a way to exploit rock and roll and make money off of the teenagers of its time See more Dec 29, 2013 If you can tune out the corny story, the music is a good trip down memory lane.
