"Viewed as a singular film, and not as the debut in a nine-part series, The Rambling Guitarist is basic, entertaining, late-50s pulp schmaltz. There aren't any standout performances and the story isn't particularly engaging, but the sets are cool and so is some of the choreography. The most interesting aspect of the whole film is simply how pervasive US culture was, with guys like Brandon and Elvis being overwhelmingly emulated in the overall motif...."
