Hallie Rodgers (Debbie Watson) is a go-go dancer on the dance show WhizBam. The producers keep making empty promises and she goes crazy on the live show. She's fired but inadvertently creates a new dance sensation. Cliff Donner (Gil Peterson) is a singer who never gets the big break. In comes wealthy Tony Krum (Roddy McDowall) who brings the two together into a new musical duo.
This is 60's hipsters, beach blanket blanks, and unintentional camp. The dancing, by itself, is enough to define this as camp. Even as a cult flick, it still wears out its welcome. I never like Cliff and the pairing is awkwardly melodrama. Roddy McDowall can try to add as much goofiness as he can but he can't overcome the movie's inherent badness. If only this is his movie.
