Rock, Pretty Baby! Blu-ray Arrives June 17 from Kino Lorber

Rock, Pretty Baby! (1956), directed by Richard Bartlett, arrives on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber on June 17. This release features a new 4K restoration from the original camera negative by Universal, presenting the film with enhanced picture quality.

The movie stars Sal Mineo, John Saxon, Luana Patten, Edward Platt, and Fay Wray. It showcases 16 vintage musical numbers by Rod McKuen, Henry Mancini, Bobby Troup, and Sonny Burke, embodying one of the early '50s rock 'n' roll cinema entries. Saxon plays Jimmy Daley, a high-school senior who dreams of a music career despite his father's disapproval.

Jimmy partners with Angelo Barrato, played by Mineo, forming a jazz-rock band as they prepare for a major talent contest. The cast also includes Luana Patten as Jimmy’s love interest, Fay Wray as his mother, and Shelley Fabares as his younger sister Twinky.

This Blu-ray includes new audio commentary by film historian David Del Valle and a newly remastered theatrical trailer in 2K. English subtitles are available as an option.
