Was Bill Haley Your Dream Lover?

MOVIES

THAT'LL BE THE DAY Directed by Claude Whatham (Anglo-EMI)

The English, as we know, take their rock and roll very seriously. The Bill Haley/ Teddy Boy explosion in Great Britain had an effect that would probably have held enough residual power to keep the Isles rocking even without the tremendous impetus of the Beatles. A film examination of the late fifties in England should then ideally be both a valuable historical document and a raving, boisterous entertainment.; That’ll Be The Day is a little of both, but ultimately not enough of either.
