The Lady Is A Square (1959)

A widowed socialite (Anna Neagle) encounters financial problems that put her late husband's classical orchestra in peril. She loathes the current rock and roll music scene but rock and roll or rather a rock and roll singer (Frankie Vaughan) might be her salvation. Directed by Herbert Wilcox (NO NO NANETTE). A rather hokey effort that seems to have been made in an older era. If you remove the rock and roll angle, it could well have been made in 1945 with Frank Sinatra in Vaughan's role. The movie mashes rock and roll with classical music in the hope (one assumes) that music lovers from both camps will have something to take away. Vaughan was a huge star in England and 20th Century Fox imported him to Hollywood but after two films and an unsuccessful attempt to duplicate his British stardom sent him back. It's predictable but everyone tries so hard that it's not without a certain likeability. With Anthony Newley, Janette Scott and Wilfrid Hyde White.
