Moya T.B.F.F.C. To the critic of the film Play It Cool starring the One & Only Billy Fury - Billy was the British King Of Rock'n'Roll and this film was appreciated by thousands of his fans (and still is). The storyline may be weak by todays standards but to have Our Billy on film for posterity is BILLYant. Your comments are disrespectful to Billy and his many fans worldwide. You don't know what you are talking about....and who will remember you 23 years after you have died! By the way, he's not died - he's just stopped breathing and will live on in the hearts of so many. Take a look at www.billy fury.com (Billy Fury - The Story) and see just how popular Billy Fury still is and join his fans'n'friends on the message board - I dare you! Rock On Like Fury!

sounds-magic Its shameful how people can just write off Billy Fury OK the film itself wouldn't earn an Oscar for being original or clever but as a snapshot of what was going on in the British music screen it has an English charm OK the acting is not up to par ( although directed by the now acclaimed Michael Winner - his first feature film here ) however BILLY FURY at that stage in his career WAS NOT a copy of Elvis and definitely not a --SPASTIC BOBBY DARIN - NO WAYhe was an established artist a singer with great sounds / voice and stage presence and was just doing what every star of there day - including Elvis with his many a same plot film - going onto the big screen.Helen Shapiro was OK ,and like Bobby Vee in 2006 still going strong . the film PLAY IT COOL is a piece of little history and should not be dismissed neither disrespected of the late great BILLY FURYkeep on rockin

fiftiesfury I have watched Play it Cool and like ALL "Pop" movies including Elvis films, the plot is very weak............but Billy Fury makes up for the weak plot with his fantastic vocals throughout the film. Certainly a film to purchase as there aren't many films or footage around of Billy Fury singing. Billy Fury was not an Elvis copycat although he idolised him, he was the first Rock N Roll Star to ever pen his own songs and was the first ever person to produce an album completely written by himself, an album that is still today regarded as the greatest rock n roll album ever! The album's name.....The Sound Of Fury... need I say more!?! Play it cool,although "corny" is a part of British rock n roll history.A must for all you Rock N Rollers and sixties fans!!!

mm004i9868 one of if not the best music movie's to come out of 60s Britain, staring billy fury who's amazing good looks made the film even more worth watching, billy's acting is on top form and his voice is better then ever.in fact i give it 10 out of 10, a must watch film for any fan of 60s music.the story is non stop action and songs that keep the viewer glued to the screen, nice cameo roles from bobby Vee and helen shapiro. and also shane fenton who later became alvin stardust, well worth viewing is billy's other movie I've gotta horse which was made in 1965 and also that'll be the day where billy has a cameo role as stormy tempest a singer at a holiday camp.all in all i think the music industry would have been a lot worse off without the talents of billy fury
