Perhaps the only good thing about this movie is the clear and consistent photography and color. The go-go style music is so bad it will make you reach for the Off knob. It's loaded with that kind of icky, artificial music they always played at party scenes in movies and sitcoms from the early-1960's era, the kind that was never heard in real life, and yet here it is being blared at you in 1967, and faker than ever. The score is composed by Lee Hazelwood, which is surprising since he is known for more acceptable work. The satellite TV blurb says the film has a loose story line about a has-been pop star being paired with a hopeful new singer for a bit TV show, but I could not stand to watch it long enough to find out. There are some talented performers in the film, but this sort of material probably contributed to their short careers.
