He had a musical epiphany when he saw The Girl Can’t Help It, a somewhat cynical 1956 musical comedy that deals with the sordid machinations of the record business-he was enraptured by the rock ‘n’ roll trailblazers who appeared in the film, among them Little Richard, Fats Domino, Eddie Cochran, and Gene Vincent. Haydock was born in Chicago on April 17, 1940, and as a lad in Downers Grove he devoured comic books and monster movies and magazines. He had ties to early rock ‘n’ roll, pulp publishing, and genre films-and like a proper B-movie juvenile delinquent, he once supposedly said, “I’m out for kicks in life, doing whatever I want whenever I want, on the move like there’s no tomorrow, I’m living like there’s only today.” The short and tragic but absolutely jam-packed life of Ron Haydock is one such story. When I choose subjects for the Secret History of Chicago Music, I always look for compelling tales, but only every once in a while do I find a story that feels cut out for a biopic.

That’s not quite enough to sustain the entire running time, but it’s enough to make for an intermittently amusing flick. “The shoestring budget, awful costumes, and bad performances lend the movie a certain amount of charm. It is funny in an unintentional way and sometimes is not hard to look at.” Fred Olen Ray, The New Poverty Row: Independent Filmmakers as Distributors, McFarland, 1991 “ all the earmarks of Warren’s worst work, but rises above the level of something as tedious as Petrified World. There is a lot of dancing, the plot is old-school silly, but the pacing and editing is so abysmal that the movie is nearly unwatchable.” Misany “I can’t think of any reason to recommend this movie. ” …a film entirely based upon the simple belief that the two finest things in the world are go-go dancing and face-pulling and that together, they comprise the very essence of comedy.” And You Call Yourself a Scientist! ” …a rip-off hack job no matter how you slice it, though its innocent veneer, period charm, and forced wackiness might endear the film to fans of similar goofs like Rat Pfink a Boo Boo or The Nasty Rabbit” All Movie Things do get substantially more goofy later in the film, but by then, it’s too late.” 2,500 Movies Challenge The comedy is further hampered by director Warren, who lets most scenes run on far too long. ” …the acting is so wooden that we have no idea whether they’re trying to be serious or not.
