Editorial Reviews:

Don’t Knock The Rock spotlights rock music in its infancy and features some of the genre’s true originals. DJ Freed is credited with inventing the term, "rock n’ roll," and Haley was a durable star for over a decade, selling 22 million copies of his hit, "Rock Around the Clock," and helping to establish rock music once and for all. Little Richard had his first bonafide hit, "Tutti Frutti," while making this film, and the film shows this self proclaimed architect of rock and roll at the beginning of his storied career. Rock Around The Clock, is a title based on Bill Haley & His Comets’ enormous hit from 1954. In this film, also produced by Sam Katzman and directed by Fred Sears, Haley and friends get to demo their singing chops, singing a string of hits, including the title song.

Summary: Two Sides To Every Coin
Comment: Technically speaking, these two DVD's were excellent. The video was crystal clear, and the audio was hi-fidelity mono.
Back in the good old days when these movies were first released and I saw them for the first time, it didn't really dawn on me that they were
dealing with some serious issues, especially the "generation gap" and the
issue of good and evil music. It was the rock and roll music acts that
I mostly liked about the movies. Being a Bill Haley fan was the main reason I wanted to see these movies, not to mention some other great
names acts--The Platters "The Great Pretender". Don't take me wrong, I'm an Elvis fan too! But before Elvis there was Bill Haley and the
Comets to whom I must give credit for my long term enjoyment of good
old Rock 'N Roll. If one could, I would draw an all emcompassing cirle
around the years 1955 thru 1964 for the best rock 'n roll music ever created.
I recommend this DVD set because it is just plain old good entertainment,
very predictable plots. All's well that ends well!
Customer Rating:
Summary: nostalgia lovers DVD
Comment: The plots are corny for sure but the music is pure unadulterated toe tapping rock and roll. I don't see how anyone over 50 would not enjoy the ride back to the good old days of rock and roll's beginnings.
