The Young Swingers Reviews

This laughable trash has ruthless real estate lady Helton trying to remove a teenie-bopper club so she can put up a new high rise. Her niece, Bee, goes to the club with Summers, a snotty, rich boy friend. There she meets Lauren, the club's singer, who won't knuckle under to Helton's pressure. Of course Bee is taken with the young man and leaves her aunt's camp to join the enemy. When the club burns down Helton is accused of torching it, but faulty wiring is the real culprit. Helton does a wild turnabout, offering to help build a new club, and she tosses a huge birthday bash for Bee. A film that is exactly what it sets out to be, with no pretensions whatsoever. Musical numbers include: "Come to the Party" ("By" Dunham, Hank Levine), "Mad, Mad, Mad" (Susan Quickel, Bill Baker), "Elijah," "Come A-Runnin'," "Watusi Surfer" (Dunham), "Voice on the Mountain" (Dunham, Henry Vars), "Greenback Dollar" (Hoyt Axton, Ken Ramsey), "I Can't Get You out of My Heart" (Robert Marcucci, Russell Faith), and "You Pass Me By" (Rod McKuen).
