"This is Alan Freed....and this is rock'n'roll". With these words the young hearts of New
York beat fast as the celebrated radio disc jockey unleashes the popular sounds of the late fifties. This film tells the story of Freed, who became one of the key figures in the development of rock'n'roll.
Director Floyd Mutrux ( 1 977)
