Performance of Marv Johnson - Show Me

[theboyfromxtown]

I used to frequent an all night cinema in the 70's [[called the Scala) purely to watch the US movies that us Brits never got. It's how I got to see "Beach Ball" and all those other beach movies. One time they were showing Rock and Roll films and it took my breath away when up on screen comes Marv Johnson. Well, knock me down with a feather cos it's up on youtube. WOW. This is really clear.

Roger.

You've knocked me down with another feather! But I can't find that one though. Can you post the link for some of the lesser computer-abled amongst us.

[Roger Polhill]

Boy, I clicked on the site and it was in the column on the right with other Marv clips.

[theboyfromxtown]

Is this a performance too? I can't see it.

[Roger Polhill]

Please forgive me, I have a head uncluttered by brain. It is "I`m Coming Home."

[Roger Polhill]

It is "Oh Mary" incorrectly titled.

Wow! I haven't seen that since I was little kid!

Thank you Roger. I've found it now but I was struggling to recall the name of the film. Fortunately I found it on one of our old SDF threads.

The film was called "Teenage Millionaire" from 1961.
