Bye Bye Birdie (1963)

When a contest brings Elvis-type pop star Conrad Birdie (Jesse Pearson) to Sweet Apple, Ohio, for a final performance before entering the Army, songwriter Albert Peterson (Dick Van Dyke) becomes determined to have the singer perform one of his tunes on the program. Albert's difficulties are compounded by his mother's disapproval of his love for the lovely Rosie DeLeon (Janet Leigh). (c) 1963 , renewed 1991 Columbia Pictures Industries , Inc. All Rights Reserved.
