Carnival Rock

Rock It Out

&apos;Carnival Rock&apos; is different from usual Corman movies than most of us have used to. This is melodrama padded with many musical numbers. David J. Stewart stars as out of luck club owner Christy Cristakos, a naive and disillusioned in his blind love against the club&apos;s star singer Natalie Cook (Susan Cabot) who has hots for gambler and business man Stanley (Brian G. Hutton). Christy&apos;s club, although with great musical numbers, is still in debts, and when he finally learns the woman he loves can&apos;t pay back with mutual feelings, the man loses his club to Stanley in a card game.

In it&apos;s entirety the film is nothing special - not enough quality neither enough cheese. Although the script is quite strong (for Corman&apos;s movie) it flows along very familiar path without offering any surprises. Generic melodramatic love triangle and generic rockabilly songs. Nonetheless &apos;Carnival Rock&apos; is still entertaining and engaging enough that sitting through the film is everything but suffering.

It is easy to pass this film, but if you are really interested in versatility of Roger Corman, then &apos;Carnival Rock&apos; is recommended by here writer.
