Trivia
During a television interview at the time just after this movie was released, Chuck Berry said he handled his own wardrobe, and it was all authentic. He still had an entire closet full of the suits he wore while touring during the time frame portrayed in the movie, so what he wears in the movie is what he wore on stage during the 1950s.

Errores
Artie skips school on the late Buddy Holly's birthday to visit Alan Freed at the radio station. Buddy Holly's birthday (September 7) fell on Monday which was Labor Day in 1959, so Artie would have had the day off from school anyway.

Freed rules

There are plenty of hokey things in this film, but Tim McIntire's performance is one of the best ever in a rock and roll film. I don't know if this is what Alan Freed was really like, but I would like to think so. So often actors can't manage to provide charisma in their portrayal of a well known figure -- this was no problem for McIntire, who's charisma practically burns through the film. Lots of fun.
