Theatrical trailer for the screen's first rock 'n roll classic. ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK, starring Johnny Johnston, Lisa Gaye, Alan Freed, Bill Haley and the Comets, The Platters, Freddie Bell and the Bell Boys. Producer Sam Katzman -- notoriously for his low budget "B" movies, horror films and serials -- was quick to jump on the rock 'n roll craze with quickie that featured a cast of twenty and thirty-somethings playing teens in a paper-thin plot wrapped around music by Bill Haley and the Comets and other acts. It was a huge success and led to the sequel, DON'T KNOCK THE ROCK later the same year. Katzman remade both films -- nearly word for word -- when the Twist craze swept the nation as TWIST AROUND THE CLOCK (1961) and DON'T KNOCK THE TWIST (1962), both starring Chubby Checker.
