Movie Info
This uninspiring drama was unfortunately the last feature film directed by Richard Marquard and was released posthumously.

Dylan performs well, though he looks a mite uncomfortable during the musical numbers. He certainly appears fitter than Everett whose voice is as wet and stilted as his performance.
Top CriticA half-baked rock'n'roll fable.

Dylan is the key to liking or disliking the film.
Dylan's participation in such tosh should anger fans more than when he went electric.

Not nearly as bad as I had heard, but I wouldn't say its all that good either. A predictable film that had the potential of being better. Fair at best.
