I always remembered this movie because it was so vacuous. Half the film was shot by a pool, with a minimal plot.
Entertaining little musical about a spoiled young teenager who comes into his parents millions after their death and find love and fame and a stint in the US Army all within the 84 minutes of the movie. Bobby Chalmers, Jimmy Clanton, likes to play and write music and one afternoon at his old mans radio station he secretly cuts a record "Green Light" that becomes the biggest hit in town but there's only one hitch; nobody knows who made and sang the song.
I really enjoyed the movie because I love oldies. There's even a couples singers that never made it big that had some great songs.
A great little period piece! Was 17 when this movie was made.
I liked this film for a number of reasons.The big budget,cgi films of today cost mega bucks yet are tiresome,with no story,and so music video fast-paced that you can't see anything worth seeing.
This was like watching the proverbial car wreck...truly horrible, but you can't turn your head away.
I had wanted to see "Teenage Millionaire" for a long time. For one thing, I have found many "teensploitation" movies from the 1950s and 1960s to be campy fun, and the idea of portraying a teenage millionaire had the potential to be a hoot.
