Production
Roger Corman had previously made Rock All Night (1956), an earlier low budget film based on a TV play which featured musical acts. It was successful relative to its budget and Corman made this similar film for a syndicate of theatre owners.
Filming started in May 1957 at Ziv Studios. Susan Cabot was borrowed from Universal, whom she was under contract to at the time.
Music in the film was from the Platters, David Houston, Bob Luman, the Shadows, and the Blockbusters, most of whom appear in the movie as themselves.
