Wild Guitar
A young rock & roll hopeful is given a shot at the big time by the unscrupulous owner of a small record company.
From the archive
Except for the fact that it stars Arch Hall, Jr., who's as cute as a warthog and as convincing an actor as Tor Johnson, this is a fairly entertaining little jukebox musical. Bud Eagle comes to Hollywood from Spearfish, South Dakota, signs with a sleazy agent, and becomes a big star. There's also a cute girl who can't act a lick, and a heavy in the form of Steak, played by Cash Flagg (really Ray Dennis Steckler, who directed). There's also some interesting camera work now and then (Vilmos Zsigmond did 2nd Unit photography here), and a truly surreal closing number that has to be seen to be believed. The file uploaded is a reasonably clear XviD AVI.
