A SWINGIN’ AFFAIR (1963, aka REBEL IN THE RING) Bill Wellman, Jr., Arline Judge, Baynes Barron, Sandra Gale Bettin, Susan Sturtridge. Wellman’s a kid from the poor side of town and a part-time boxer who’s a pledge at a snobby college fraternity. He makes his money beating up his foes in the ring. He lives in fear, though, of his fraternity pals finding out about his humble beginnings and his shady profession. Things get sticky when the spoiled, rich girlfriend of one of his fraternity pals leads him on. Mixed in all this is a great music score, featuring the King of Surf Guitar, Dick Dale and the Del-Tones. A hip drive-in movie. From 16mm. PLUS: MOONSHINE MOUNTAIN (1964) Chuck Scott, Jeffrey Allen, Adam Sorg, Bonnie Hinson, directed by H.G. Lewis. A pretty amazing movie. Not much of a plot really, just lots of hootin’ and hollerin’, feuds, stills, singing, and gory murders. The scene where Scott’s wife runs off with the local pug ugly sherill is hysterical. A true study in backwoods hillbillies of the ‘60s. Crude and cheap, yet fascinating. Color, 35mm.
