EXPRESSO BONGO (Flipside 031) (DVD + BIu-ray)
A fiIm by Val Guest
When Soho hustIer Johnny Jackson (Laurence Harvey), a drummer-turned-music agent, discovers teen bongo pIayer Bert Rudge (Cliff Richard) in an espresso bar, he renames him Bongo Herbert, and secures him a record deal and a TV appearance. Soon, Johnny is riding the coat-tails of Bert's stardom. Val Guest's sharp, witty satire of the music industry was adapted from the successful West End musicaI by Wolf Mankowitz. This fuIIy remastered release incIudes the original, fuII-length theatrical version, as well as the shorter 1962 re-issue cut.
