Play It Cool (1962)
Not the Best but still great
Its shameful how people can just write off Billy Fury OK the film itself wouldn't earn an Oscar for being original or clever but as a snapshot of what was going on in the British music screen it has an English charm OK the acting is not up to par ( although directed by the now acclaimed Michael Winner - his first feature film here ) however BILLY FURY at that stage in his career WAS NOT a copy of Elvis and definitely not a --SPASTIC BOBBY DARIN - NO WAY
he was an established artist a singer with great sounds / voice and stage presence and was just doing what every star of there day - including Elvis with his many a same plot film - going onto the big screen.
Helen Shapiro was OK ,and like Bobby Vee in 2006 still going strong .
the film PLAY IT COOL is a piece of little history and should not be dismissed neither disrespected of the late great BILLY FURY
keep on rockin
