It is set in the late 1950s/early 1960s and was partially filmed on the Isle of Wight. Plot summaryJim MacLaine (David Essex) was abandoned by his father when he was young. Later, as a suburban school dropout, Jim leaves home and drifts through a succession of dead-end jobs until he finds an outlet for his frustration in rock 'n' roll. Tossing away the chance of a university education much to the consternation of his mother, alienated MacLaine becomes a lowly deckchair attendant before streetwise friend Mike (Ringo Starr) gets him a job firstly as a barman and then with the fun fair. The initially shy MacLaine quickly becomes a heartless fairground Romeo leaving a trail of broken hearts in his wake. Eventually MacLaine returns home to run the family store and marry his girlfriend, but despite the birth of a son, restless Jim feels the lure of rock ’n’ roll again. CharactersThe Liverpool days of the Quarrymen/the Beatles and Rory Storm & the Hurricanes were said to be the inspiration for the fictional group called "Stray Cats" in the film.{{citation needed|date=March 2018}} Many of the characters were played by musicians who had lived through the era portrayed in the film including Ringo Starr of the Hurricanes and the Beatles, Billy Fury, Keith Moon of the Who and John Hawken of the Nashville Teens. The film was produced by David Puttnam and is loosely based on the Harry Nilsson song "1941".{{citation needed|date=March 2018}} Cast
Reception and reputationBox officeThe film was a hit at the box office (by 1985 it had earned an estimated profit of £406,000),[1] leading to a sequel, Stardust, (1974). Nat Cohen, who invested in the film, said it made more than 50% its cost.[2]Critical receptionAccording to Anne Billson in the Time Out Film Guide, the film was a "hugely overrated dip into the rock 'n' roll nostalgia bucket, ... " also commenting "Youth culture my eye: they're all at least a decade too old. But good tunes, and worth catching for Billy Fury's gold lamé act."[3] Soundtrack
