TCM Spotlight: Rock on Film
By Donald Liebenson June 27, 2022
In July, TCM is gonna rock around the month. Each Monday, “The History of Rock in Film” will serve up time capsule glimpses of how America grooved in the latter years of the 20th century. From A (ABBA: The Movie) to V (Viva Las Vegas), the films featured in this 40-year retrospective chart Hollywood’s attempts to harness (some might say exploit) contemporary music’s immense power while turning solid gold into solid green at the box office. ...
quote:
1950s
When Bill Haley and His Comets’ “Rock Around the Clock” kicked off The Blackboard Jungle (1955) rock and roll entered the mainstream. Something new had been added, something cultural watchdogs warned was “the Devil’s music;” dangerous and subversive (to which generations of rockers might respond, “You say that like it’s a bad thing”). ...
quote:
The 1960s
TCM’s salute to 60s rock films kicks off with George Harrison’s indelible Fadd9 chord and a burst of Beatlemania. Richard Lester’s A Hard Day’s Night (1964) hits the ground running and never lets up as the Fab Four prepare for a television special. The hits just keep on comin’ (“I Should Have Known Better,” “If I Fell,” “Can’t Buy Me Love”) while Lester unleashes a Marxist (as in Brothers) anarchy to the proceedings. This is the next best thing to being there. In its initial release, theaters designated special showings for adults only so they could hear the film, whose songs and dialogue tended to be drowned out by the screams of young Beatlemaniacs in the audience. ,,,
quote:
The 1970s
In the ‘70s, artists with grand designs to elevate rock beyond the 2:30 AM-radio hit single put popular music through massive changes and permutations. Ken Russell’s Tommy (1975) brought to the screen The Who’s seminal 1969 rock opera about the rise and fall of a “deaf, dumb and blind kid” who becomes a champion pinball-playing messiah. Nothing succeeds like excess, and Tommy boasts several set pieces, including Elton John’s full title version of “Pinball Wizard” and Tina Turner’s soul-tearing “Acid Queen.” ...
quote:
The 1980s
TCM’s night of ‘80s music films steps off with Joel Silberg’s Breakin’ (1984), a throwback to the first rock movies rushed to market to capitalize on the phenomenon, and in which the stories took a back seat to the musical performances. First out of the gate when breakdancing became a thing, Breakin’ is a showcase for L.A. streetdancers Adolfo “Shabba-Doo” Quinones and Michael “Boogaloo Shrimp” Chambers. ...
