Are the Chocolate Watchband on yet?
25 June 2010
"Riot on Sunset Strip" has the look and feel of a Jack Webb late sixties' "Dragnet" TV episode. At least Jack Webb productions were funny.

I simply can't get through the boring story. The less said about it the better. Aldo Ray isn't even worth mentioning. So I won't mention him.

Only interesting thing about this film is the appearance of the mysterious Chocolate Watchband, whose records are still in demand today. Their sound was like an American Rolling Stones, and the footage of the band is interesting. Standells are on hand, too. Their title tune is a forgettable rocker.

Film seems fairly dated for its time. Tape the music segments and forget the rest.
