Interesting facts

Rock, Rock, Rock! is a 1956 musical drama film conceived, co-written and co-produced by Milton Subotsky and directed by Will Price. The film is an early jukebox musical featuring performances by established rock and roll singers of the era, including Chuck Berry, LaVern Baker, Teddy Randazzo, the Moonglows, the Flamingos, and the Teenagers with Frankie Lymon as lead singer. Later West Side Story cast member David Winters is also featured. Famed disc jockey Alan Freed made an appearance as himself.

Production

This was the first feature film collaboration between Milton Subotsky and Max Rosenberg. On August 13, 1956, the movie began filming in Mikaro Studios, near botanical gardens in Bedford Park, Bronx, and was shot over a period of two weeks. The then-17 year old Francis apparently auditioned for the role of Dori, but the part was instead given to the then-13 year old child model Weld, who was making her first big-screen appearance.
