THE IN CROWD 1988
U.S. film. A cool teenage nostalgia film set in Philadelphia, The In Crowd is a wonderful look at the world of 1960s teen dance TV shows! Perry Parker is a Philadelphia rock-n-roll TV dance show host who hopes to take the place of Dick Clark after he takes his show to Hollywood in 1965. Del Green is a college-bound high school student who crashes the Dance Party and becomes a favorite of the teen audience. He becomes the dance partner of Vicky, the pretty blonde star dancer of the show. Del soon must decide whether or not to remain a local teenage fave or attend an Ivy League college, and he must also deal with the trial of peer pressure.

Plus this bonus selection...

THE ADDAMS FAMILY "Lurch, the Teenage Idol." May-14-65.
Lurch plays the family harpsichord and belts out a catchy tune (actually he grunts, groans and sings, "Go Go Baby!"). Gomez calls Mizzy Records to arrange an audition. Lurch passes and the producer says, "He'll be bigger than the Beagles!" Terrific scene with Wednesday dancing the "Watusi" while Gomez does "The Freddie!" Screaming teenage fans surround the house!
