Rating:  - "I killed that fat barkeep!!!"

I reccomend this film to anyone who wants to enjoy some light, trashy, late-night viewing involving a bunch of teeny-boppers. Tony, a juvinile delinquent and his pals rob a milk-bar. Later on, Tony is discovered by a TV producer and gets a big-time job singing on ... Read More
