Rock 'n' Roll (1959)
Directed by Lee Robinson
Rock 'n' Roll is a 1959 Australian rock and roll concert film filmed at Sydney Stadium during the Lee Gordon's Rock 'n' Roll Spectacular shows, directed by Lee Robinson. Performers include Johnny O'Keefe, The Delltones, The Devils and Johnny Devlin. All acts are from either Australia or New Zealand. American singer Fabian's performance was also shot, but this was cut from the Australian version of the film as the producers did not wish to pay the fee his management requested. They did, however, discreetly keep the Fabian sequence intact in some versions of the film that were sent to New Zealand.
