Description

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, 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 as a brand-new High Definition restoration 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!SPECIAL FEATURES[] Theatrical trailer[] Image gallery

This movie has more of a plot than some of the other British pop musicals of the early 1960's and I really enjoyed it. As others have mentioned, this movie gives a good insight into the early 1960's pre-Beatles UK pop (e.g. the London club scene at the time) as well as British cinema of that time. First time I really got to see and hear Billy Fury perform, although I've heard about him before. He was the first UK pop star from Liverpool, predating the Beatles by a few years.Also fun to see other actors I've seen in other movies or TV shows like Jeremy Bulloch (e.g. Summer Holiday, also was Boba Fett in the original Star Wars movies), Monte Landis (e.g. Monkees TV show - he played the devil in one episode). I just found out that the guy in the band with glasses was played by Ray Brooks (e.g. The Knack and How To Get It). I also see that David Hemmings has an uncredited appearance. I'll have to watch the DVD again.
