Stage director Gower Champion’s play comes to film brilliantly thanks to a terrific cast and unforgettable songs. Ann-Margret is sizzling as she jiggles and pouts her way through Onna White’s choreography as Kim McAfee, the lucky fan club member who will receive “One Last Kiss” from Conrad Birdie on the Ed Sullivan show before being carted off to Basic Training. Jesse Pearson’s teen idol gyrations put The King’s to shame and Janet Leigh’s turn as a jilted party girl at Maude’s Madcap Café is a real treat.
