|  | Good film, music and a great DVD transfer |  |
There are a number of Rock 'n' Roll films that have been released on DVD. So far, Jamboree ranks high with the quality of its DVD transfer. It did not appear to receive any particular restoration, per se, but the print used was quite watchable.
August 13, 2008great movie includes jerry lee lewis and a lot of other singers
like fats domino charlie gracie etc. ENJOY!
August 5, 2008I purchased this dvd for the Slim Whitman segment. The story line is a bit weak but I enjoyed seeing Buddy Knox, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis and others I had'nt heard of. The quality of the disc is excellent.
September 3, 2007Let's face it kids, this movie was bad when it came out and time does not alter that fact, however it is fun to look back and see this celluloid history of Rock N' Roll!
January 10, 2007 |  | This could have been a whole lot better |  |
For students of 1950's rock&roll this DVD should be in your collection of all things 50s'. Again, as was the case with all 50s' rock&roll movies, the recording stars of the era are the "stars" of the film. Carl Perkins, Frankie Avalon, Charlie Gracie, Fats Domino(seeing him sing "wait & see" is worth the cost of the DVD alone). But, sadly, "Jamboree" is technically very disappointing. A little attention to detail whould have made Slim Whitman, Charlie Gracie, Jimmy Bowen & Buddy Knox appear a lot better ... what happened to the guitar solo in "hula love"? Were the producers of the film in hurry to get this in the cinemas? Apart from its technical flaws, there are (some) great 50s rock&roll acts in "Jamboree" and some rarely seen long forgotten names like Jodie Sands & the 4 Coins. For 1950s' music fans only.
