Howlers in the Dock (Italian: Urlatori alla sbarra) is a 1960 Italian "musicarello" film directed (and co-written) by Lucio Fulci. It is also known as Howlers of the Dock in some reference books.[1][2] The film was shown on Italian TV under a longer title, Metti, Celentano e Mina...Urlatori alla sbarra.[3]
Plot
The film is a fast-paced musical comedy about a band of teddy boys and rock n' roll chicks, whose crazy, fun-loving habits inspire bitter complaints from their neighbors in the town. A prominent blue jeans company owner feels that the kids' poor reputation adversely affects his product's sales and public image. Prevailing upon the youths to help, he engineers a series of promotional stunts to lighten the public's opinion of these good-hearted rock n rollers and their lovely jeans. An unscrupulous politician makes things difficult for the youngsters, but everything turns out well.
