    that crazy beat!
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2007*

Patty Duke was at the height of her teenybopper fame when she starred in BILLIE (1965).  Modern audiences may sneer at it's depiction of a girl's fight for equality (which she ultimately drops), yet it's mix of teen angst and lively musical numbers is quite a delicious combo.15-year-old Billie Carol (Patty Duke) sets out to beat the boys at their own game by joining the highschool track team; a decision that could disrupt her entire family.  With her father (Jim Backus) busily campaiging for mayor, her sister (Susan Seaforth-Hayes) home from college with a guilty secret; and mother (Jane Greer) constantly talking about putting her head in the oven(!), Billie's antics could send them all over the edge!  In the end, Billie decides her greatest victory is just "being a girl", as the whole cast dances away into the night.  Yay!BILLIE is harmless fluff in the vein of "Gidget" and "Beach Party".  Patty Duke, at the very apex of her teen fame, is pert and perky in the lead, belting out songs like "Funny Little Butterflies".  Warren Berlinger is the boyfriend who feels threatened by Billie's sporting prowess, and "That Girl"'s Ted Bessell also puts in a fun appearance.  The lively choreography comes courtesy of talented "West Side Story" cast member David (Baby John) Winters.  Keep an eye out for Broadway hoofer Donna McKechnie amongst the dancers.The DVD of BILLIE is truly appalling though.  Cropped and sliced into fullscreen, the image is full of telecine wobble and lots of grain (which could have been minimalised by keeping the film in it's original widescreen ratio).  The sound is in big fat mono with minor hiss and distortion evident throughout.  Extras are limited to the original trailer (which is presented in widescreen, another kick in the pants for those who would have loved the whole movie in widescreen).Fans of 60s kitsch should love BILLIE.  Despite a shoddy DVD presentation, this is a movie that deserves to be enjoyed.  (Single-sided, single-layer disc).

    See the movie... read the 'making of' book!
  

*by G***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2017*

It's hard to resist this campy little mid-'60s teen romp, which is why Casey Bond and I wrote a book about it.  It's the candy-coated feminist theme that intrigued us, with tomboy Duke beating the boys at "their own game" with the Beat, a kind of rock and roll superpower she hears in her head.  BTW, those complaints about the picture quality of the official video releases are sadly true; the first MGM DVD release was a slightly-too-wide pan-and-scan offering, while the release featured here is letterboxed, but is defective, with strange horizontal lines often affecting the image.  For years we've lobbied for a blu-ray release, but so far, no luck.  In any event, here's the link to our book: https://www.amazon.com/Patty-Duke-Billie-Model-Sell-Out/dp/1593938411/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_img_15?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PEC6C02YAQDQ7JDNS5ZH
