There was a picture in the Billboard 7/10/65 mag archive online with a clip from this video. The Scopitone company out of Chicago was saying how these vids were aimed at an upscale restaurant, lounge, country club audience and not aimed at the jukebox industry and the local bar - teen crowd. Kind of like videos for younger yuppies and adults.
The thing I love about watching this old stuff is thinking that all of these girls have since married and had kids and grandkids... and that the grandkids haven't a clue that sweet, cookie-baking grandma used to shake her tush in a skimpy outfit to Freddie Bell! BTW, is it just me or does Roberta Linn look more butch than ol' Frankie?
@OrangeVanillaSky69 If I also may add 30 Scopitone machines were installed in Hilton Hotel Lounges according to the July '65 article, increasing buisness dramatacilly. LOLOL.. Scopitone helped contribute to Paris Hilton's future wealth. Perhaps Paris can revive this medium and star in them herself, big ham that she
Scopitone videos are like strange, vivid technicolor dreams that make zero sense. I love them!
These Scopitones were also used as headliners to the feature film at the drive-in movie.
i like when his hat almost falls off. these scopitones are thrilling!
Puts a big smile on my face everytime I watch it
Wild West au-go-go! And a darn good thing, too. This is the way it SHOULD have been.

It's no wonder my mother went kicking and screaming out of her big hairdo from the 60's if she had this much fun wearing it!

I don't think it's that Roberta looks more butch, I think it's that Frankie would rather be dancing with the cowboy.
Is this an out take from Bareback Mountain?? LOL...bwahahah
