Movie Description
Two entertaining, if dated, movies about young people and the music industry are collected here. Often shown on MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, THE BEATNIKS is a classic of the "troubled teen" films of the late 1950s, and stars Tony Travis as Eddie Crane, a young punk and aspiring singer who hangs out with a group of "beatniks." Trying to ditch his old friends for the promise of a lucrative recording contract and a respectable life, Tony finds that his friends won't let him go straight that easily.
In 1962's kitschy WILD GUITAR, shortly after arriving in Hollywood, a hopeful guitarist (Arch Hall, Jr.) appears on TV, becomes a superstar, and is exploited by an unscrupulous manager.
