The Cool Ones (1967)

Warner Bros.
Directed by Gene Nelson
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Perky teenager Debbie Watson dreams of becoming a pop star. She is a dancer on a popular television show, where one night she steals the microphone on live TV. In the ensuing confusion, she accidentally starts a new dance craze. She hooks up with singer Gil Peterson and eccentric millionaire tycoon Roddy McDowall to try to capitalize on it. At its best when a satire of the music business, such as in McDowall's hotel, but slowed down by excessive breaks for singing and dancing, all of which is very, very dated. The Leaves perform in the underground dance club.
