That'll Be the Day

The picture of disaffected British youth in the 1950s, Jim MacLaine (David Essex) leaves his working-class home life in search of something more enticing, then attempts to settle down before getting swept up by the burgeoning music craze known as rock ‘n’ roll. The film, which is rumored to be based on John Lennon’s early days, features Ringo Starr as MacLaine’s carnival crony, along with cameos by rockers Billy Fury and Keith Moon.
