Hold On! (1966)


MGM
Directed by Arthur Lubin
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

This is more or less a beach movie starring Herman's Hermits. Peter Noone, as Herman, is not allowed to meet girls, so he sneaks out of his hotel to find Shelley Fabares in an amusement park. The rollercoaster ride with back projection is a highlight, particularly the dummy on the "real" rollercoaster. Another fun part is the set piece with singing in outer space, the band members suspended like puppets around a space capsule. It's all ridiculous and very, very boring.
