Review
Here's an early embarrassment in the career of composer John Williams: a cheap and awful slice of teen schlock, its catchpenny title derived from then-contemporary slang. The negligible plot follows truck driver Dick Contino as he fights hoodlums and smashes a drugs ring, all the while singing forgettable tunes to luscious cover girl Sandra Giles, who could give most movie vamps serious lessons in pouting. This was already out of date by the time it was made, but it's unmissable for those cats who knew what it meant not to be square.
