Interesting facts

Rock, Pretty Baby is a 1956 American comedy musical film directed by Richard Bartlett and starring Sal Mineo, John Saxon and Luana Patten.

Production

The film was announced in June 1956, under the title Crazy Love.

Luana Patten had been a child actor then stopped working at age 14 to concentrate on school. After several years she told her agent she wanted to act again and she was cast in Rock Pretty Baby. She signed at $650 a week. The contract had options for another seven years. Universal tried to exercise it and Patten sued to get out of it.

Filming started July 1956. It was also known as The Living End before being titled Rock Pretty Baby.

Before the film came out, Al Daff of Universal said the movie "is not an important picture but it will gross more than many multi million dollar pictures."
