Jamboree!
You can gauge the importance of the plot in Roy Lockwood’s JAMBOREE! (1957, TCM) by the fact that the opening credits list the many musical guests but none of the actors driving what little story there is. That’s not unusual for a 1950s rock and roll movie. They’re all just excuses for top recording artists to perform, and when you get to see people like Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Count Basie, Joe Williams, Slim Whitman and the underappreciated Louis Lymon and the Teenchords, what more do you need. OK, a little coherence and skill would help. Feuding, divorced music managers Kay Medford and Robert Pastene swallow their differences long enough to turn their clients, Paul Carr and Freda Holloway, into America’s singing sweethearts. The managers’ manipulations break up the act, with predictably heart-breaking results for all involved. Pastene, who was a mainstay of the Guthrie Theatre for years, isn’t bad, and Medford is so natural and nuanced she gets laughs out of the tired lines. The kindest thing I can say about Carr and Holloway is that, at least while making this film, they were not shopping at the charisma mart. His singing sounds like a less enthusiastic Mel Torme, and when he’s supposed to be upset after being tricked into betraying Holloway, he only seems to be suffering from mild indigestion. Her vocals are dubbed by Connie Francis, and Holloway is so bland she manages to suck the life out of them. The original songs written for America’s sweethearts are mostly forgettable, and it’s strange that the best of them, “Siempre,” is the only one that flops. Fortunately, the guests brought their own numbers along, so you get Jerry Lee Lewis doing a sanitized version of “Great Balls of Fire,” Fats Domino rocking out on “Wait and See,” Joe Williams wailing “I Don’t Like You No More” and Count Basie swinging “One O’clock Jump” (though it feels naked without Lambert, Hendricks and Ross), along with novelties like Buddy Knox’s “Hula Love” and Ron Coby/Cauby Peixoto’s “Toreador.” Even the stranger numbers have their little charms, like Coby/Peixoto’s impossibly high-waisted pants and Slim Whitman’s skinny mustache.
