Years ago I had looked forward to watching this on TV but they'd shown something else instead! Then I missed the recent newspaper freebie! In my youth I was a Cliff Richard fan and had always been drawn to the idea of an innocent 'coffee bar' romance (which is what this appeared to be). Oh dear! I wish I had left well alone and left my romantic illusions intact! What a disappointment. Forgetting for a moment that this was filmed I think in the 50s or early 60s in black and white, had I watched it even then I would have been bitterly disappointed! The script, while typical of that era, is Terrible with a capital T. The story line even worse! The only 'romance' was between his so called agent and his girlfriend. Oh and Cliff's character Bongo with a jaded American singer. Neither of these count as Romance in my books. There was just one saving grace in the whole film. Cliff singing 'Voice in the Wilderness' was beautiful. The romantic in me would re-write the whole script so that he was singing the song to a girl in the coffee bar to win her affection. Not to a bunch of disinterested onlookers. I think this was Cliff's first foray into acting and as such they should have taken more care to cast him into a much more tender and appealing role.Read full review
It was good to watch the young Cliff Richard who, being older than me, was one of my idols. The thing that struck me the most was the fullness of face (chubby chops) our star had in those days. It was hard to believe that this young entertainer was so inexperienced compared with today. That's not meant as a criticism of him but more of the way films were made back them. The film itself is very entertaining and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. The story is a bit weak but Hey, so what. It doesn't detract from the immense pleasure that you feel after watching it. So, go and treat yourself. Get a copy and enjoy it.
