Hallo,

KEEP IT COOL-UK (Alternative US-title: LET'S ROCK) (1958):
Julius LaRosa, Wink Martindale, Danny and The Juniors, Paul Anka, Della Reese, Roy Hamilton, The Tyranes, The Royal Teens

Let's Rock! (1958)
Julius LaRosa, Phyllis Newman, Conrad Janis, Wink Martindale, Joy Harmon, Paul Anka, Della Reese, the Royal Teens, Danny and the Juniors, Roy Hamilton, the Tyrones.

LaRosa plays a mainstream crooner refusing to sing rock and roll. Not much here except for the Juniors’ rocking the house with At the Hop and the Royal Teens playing their hit song, Short Shorts. Newman is entertaining as the singer’s girlfriend who convinces him to change his mind.

Singer Julius LaRosa, whose greatest fame lies in the fact that he was fired on the air by radio-TV personality Arthur Godfrey, heads the cast of the near-plotless musicfest Let's Rock. LaRosa plays a top recording star who suffers a dip in popularity when rock-n-roll becomes the national craze. With the help of girlfriend Phyllis Newman, LaRosa is able to recapture his audience by adjusting to the "new sound." Forget the plot: this the film in which Danny and the Juniors perform their hit single {&"At the Hop"} and the Royal Teens participate in a production-number version of their smash {&"Short Shorts"}. And besides, who couldn't love a film which offers not only Paul Anka and Della Reese, but also the legendary Wink Martindale!!! Let's Rock was later reissued as Keep It Cool.
