Friday, February 24 - Rock, Pretty Baby!

Rock, Pretty Baby! (1956)

Young musician Jimmy Daley (Saxon) needs to come up with $300 to purchase the electric guitar he wants. He pawns his law books (I thought they were medical books), to the disappointment of his father (Platt), a doctor whose goal is for Jimmy to become a lawyer (huh? doctor, I thought).

Jimmy's jealous nature results in a ruckus at a party and $150 in damage to a neighbor, which Dr. Daley insists his son pay. His girlfriend Joan Wright (Patten) learns that a battle of the bands has a cash prize. Jimmy and his group end up losing the contest, but he earns the respect of his dad.
