This should have been titled "Rockin' in Dallas in '57" because the attempt at a story line and acting was pointless and a waste of film footage. Local rock and roll acts are showcased for the majority of the movie. And that's what it should have been - a low budget documentary of the music and dancing of the time and place.
By the standards of those days the groups featured were probably fairly good. So it's interesting to watch in that regard.
One character in the 'plot' had a nose that looked so broken he probably couldn't breathe through it. In fact part of the cast appears to have been drawn from the local boxing or wrestling gym. There are some moments of genuine laughter, though, as when one of the 'bad' guys is made to dance rock and roll style.
