7/10

Not rock and roll he said.

A previous commentator stated that while he enjoyed several songs none were rock and roll. All the music on this short film are most definitely rock and roll, just mid 1950's rock and roll. I was 15 in 1955 and this is what we enjoyed then. As with all things, music, film, art, literature and morality everything changes over time.
