Play It Cool!
- 1962 comedy
Musical comedy in which a group of musicians find themselves touring the nightclubs of London's fashionable West End.
Play It Cool!
Featuring the big-screen debut of Liverpudlian pop idol Billy Fury - "Britain's Elvis Presley" - this charming, pre-Beatles-era musical feature was among Michael Winner's earliest films. A 1962 box-office hit spawning a top-ten single and EP, Play It Cool! features cameos from some of the most recognisable stars of the Sixties and beyond, with Bobby Vee, Helen Shapiro and Shane Fenton (aka Alvin Stardust) among the artistes encountered by Fury and his fictional band. The film is presented here in a brand-new transfer from original film elements.
Billy Universe and the Satellites, a happy-go-lucky rhythm and twist group, are en route to Brussels to compete in a song contest; on the same flight is Ann Bryant, who's being sent abroad by her wealthy father to try to curb her infatuation with disreputable popster Larry Granger. When fog forces the plane to return to the airport, Billy and friends persuade Ann to join them in the West End, where they will search for Larry. What follows is a whirlwind musical tour of London's nightclubs!
