The Two Eyes – Beginning of the British Pop Film – Half Three

The Golden Disc 1958 – The Espresso Bar

‘What is going to or not it’s madam?’ asks Harry ‘Ballad or Rock?’ Aunt Sarah replies ‘Rock-maninoff’.

Within the fifties the English café turned a continental espresso bar with espresso changing tea. In The Golden Disc Harry and Joan (Lee Patterson and Mary Steele) convert Aunt Sara’s decrepid café right into a espresso bar (to incorporate a file store and a recording studio) ultimately selling a younger singer (Terry Dene) to No.1 within the music charts and cashing in on the beginning of the rock and roll period. Unconsciously, it’s a snapshot of the late fifties in Britain. It throws in a cornucopia of music types, the producers clearly attempt to section all. There’s people, instrumentals, skiffle, jazz, ballads and rock’n’roll. As a chunk of musical historical past it’s glorious in capturing the sensation of fixing occasions.

The truth that prime-time tv or cinema might induce hysteria and phenomenally enhance gross sales of rock’n’roll music was not unknown. That stated, the entire idea of those early pop musicals had been particularly created for monetary achieve in a failing film business with audiences that had dropped off for the reason that late forties.

The opening tune Dynamo by Sonny Stewart’s Skiffle Kings stretches from ambient diegetic to efficiency mode (by way of a dissolving montage of nightclub neons from one espresso bar into one other) because the music abruptly adjustments from a studio recording to stay efficiency. This courageous musical edit didn’t idiot everybody. ‘Chances are you’ll be irritated by the way in which it generally fades the music earlier than the artists have fairly completed’ says Nina Hibben within the Every day Employee, (15/3/58)

Campbell Dixon’s adult view of the time sees ‘a wierd world of frenzied exhibitionism and phoney, rigorously cultivated hysteria. He is aware of it exists… because the younger playwrights guarantee us its vital, and I am positive it’s, thought simply what its vital of, besides household neglect and poor instructing, I’ve actually no concept. All that issues me right here is that I discover it fairly numbingly uninteresting.

The modification of the espresso bar throughout a musical quantity is sort of a spiritual transformation. The Gaggia espresso machine is introduced into the newly refurbished espresso bar ceremoniously carried on a picket plinth like a pharaoh’s mummy. It’s positioned within the place of font on a bar serving because the altar. The jukebox pervades because the church organ and the Espresso espresso serves ritualistically as a relaxed type of communion. These easy traits are indicative of the brand new development: the blood of rock’n’roll in non secular undertones. The proprietor can’t imagine the quantity of espresso drunk because the espresso bar begins to achieve success.

The points of interest of the espresso bar; that peculiar amalgam of pine, caffeine, bamboo and bullfight posters, had been legion. The espresso bar supplied youngsters a heat, welcoming assembly place. Not a mum or dad in sight. They had been locations you might cling about for a night, spend a shilling on a espresso, go in at 9 and are available out at eleven, and no one bothers you.

Terry Williams (as Dene was born) labored as a record-packer, who had a need to sing at workplace events (his Presley imitations had been nicely obtained) and was found by producer Jack Good of 6.5 Particular. As Terry Dene, he virtually had respectable hits, however his cowl of Marty Robbins’ White Sport Coat was a much bigger hit for one more British group, and his second single was overshadowed by a Sal Mineo model. Nonetheless he was an in a single day sensation along with his Elvis impersonation.

Terry Dene’s half within the movie is overshadowed by his disastrously brief profession (that might have matched any of the opposite artists talked about). Scandal and his incapacity to take care of drink within the music golf equipment led him to be the primary UK insurgent. In his documentary he bemoans that the ballads Decca compelled him to file weren’t what he was about, he was a rock’n’curler when he performed stay. ‘Women swooned over him, boys needed to punch him.’ says producer Jack Good within the biopic of Dene’s life.

After varied tantrums involving panes of glass and mirrors being drunkenly smashed, he misplaced the respect of his fans. The alcohol introduced out a violent streak in him that was not there when he was sober. A gentle and delicate natured individual from London’s working class Eastend (Platchet), he was confronted with Nationwide Service (following in Elvis’s footsteps). The opposite troopers taunted him and inside 48 hours he had had a nervous breakdown and left the military in shame. The press of the day scolded him for his pointless scandals and incapacity to carry out his responsibility for his nation.

The Golden Disc took him to success, which was brief lived, and he quickly turned portrayed because the ‘unhealthy boy’ of British rock’n’roll. This left him jobless after his demobilisation. In 1964 he then discovered solace in Christianity and proceeded too produce gospel data.

The movie finale sees Mary Steele and American Lee Patterson launch a file firm and make a nation-wide hit with Dene’s first file. A giant British firm practically ruins them, however a good greater American firm big-heartedly steps in and saves the day. As Nina Hibbin says within the Every day Employee (15/3/58) ‘It is speculated to be a British movie however its message is “Good previous Uncle Sam”.’ That is in contrast to Expresso Bongo ‘which is a rarity: a British film-musical of which we might be pleased with and America envious.’

Expresso Bongo 1959 The Supervisor

A rowdy elegy to British youth tradition within the fifties Expresso Bongo ‘plunges a savage paw into the mess that’s present business.’ It’s a movie spoof of The Tommy Steele Story, (written by Wolf Mankowitz), taken from the West Finish musical of the identical identify. So enter Bongo Herbert, the ‘unbroken road Arab’ as described by his shrewd supervisor Johnny Jackson (Harvey) into a lifetime of Penny arcades, Prostitution, spaghetti, espresso espresso, garlic sausage, neon, parmigiani and salt beef and the entire plethora of crucial beatnik paraphernalia of props that shrouded the movie from tip to toe.

‘In 1959, present business is leisure of the morons, by the morons, for the morons. And also you get nothing for nothing’.

This viewpoint is put ahead in Expresso Bongo. It might appear exaggerated however was not removed from the reality in its portrait of Tin Pan Alley and Soho, the place ‘stars are made and damaged by the chequebook’ as Anthony Carthew revealed in his scathing report the place he additionally claimed ‘This vicious story of present business could be very close to the reality.’ John Waterman speaks of ‘the penalty of writing a bitingly topical guide or play or musical is that by the point the movie seems it could have misplaced a few of its enamel.’ Regardless of the end result it was his impression that ‘in a single day singing successes are now not the subject of public curiosity as they had been 18 months in the past, within the stage play.’ Maybe this remark spells the top of the pop years, that are extensively identified to be between 1956-1960, after which period the Beat Growth started which led to the ‘British Invasion’ of British Pop music into the American charts. This started with the success of the Beatles in Richard Lesters Exhausting Days Evening (1964).

The bongo drum right here irreverently replaces the guitar, as the key musical prop, not seen within the different motion pictures. Cliff Richards’s incapacity to authentically carry out with dexterity on the bongos was once more overridden by this burgeoning exuberance for youth tradition. Nevertheless cheesy, these are traditional moments in cinematic historical past of their portrayal of ‘slice of actual life’ present business fantasy.

Although it nonetheless ranked as X-rated ‘smut’ (it was given an A) it revelled in its B film irreverence. Leonard Mosley within the Every day Categorical pronounced Sure, sure, sure, to Expresso Bongo, for its buttock slapping and bust swinging vulgarity, and its cruel survey of the flesh peddling actions of Soho.

The realism of Soho’s sleazy again streets, the place the identical bedrooms have been used for intercourse for over 300 years, weren’t the venue the nationwide gaze (BBC) needed to painting to its ‘first rate’ and ‘respectable viewers’. Even so, the craze emanating from this sq. mile of darkish musical frivolity was to not be held again from the nation and eventual world domination by pop music.

The movie marks a peak in pop musicals. It presents an genuine portrayal of the ‘scene’ and encapsulates (nonetheless crudely) all of the substances of methods to break into present business. In an interview with Neil Shand, Mankowitz remembers Once I have a look at folks, I see them as they’re. The characters in Expresso Bongo are ebullient and bursting with life. I do not care about them being amoral or immoral, I’m amoral and immoral myself…
John Kennedy, Steele’s co supervisor, needed to distance themselves from the Expresso Bongo story of a witless espresso bar singer become a star by his devious agent, It was clearly a satirical portrayal of Steele’s rise to fame. As Robert Murphy notes in Sixties British Cinema ‘A musical which cheekily parodied the speedy ascent of Tommy Steele from coffee-bar singer to Pop Idol.’!

Lionel Bart, who launched Kennedy to Cliff Richard performed a major function within the pop music scene, and wrote Residing Doll for Cliff Richard went on to attain ‘Oliver’ (a narrative of a harmless boy, manipulated and managed by a criminal!).

Within the movie there’s a tv debate wherein Gilbert Harding taking part in himself, because the social arts producer for ‘Cosmarama’ on the BBC talks to a psychiatrist, the Reverend, and Johnny Jackson (Bongo’s supervisor): Gilbert Harding begins ‘Beatniks! Is that this only a wholesome signal of excessive spirits?’ The psychiatrist responds: Adolescents in our time demand shops for his or her frustration. The drums Bongo beats could stand for somebody he would not like. A easy technique of evacuating pressure. The entire mass of whirling battle surging as much as a pounding climax. Any relapse of pressure and the face is sort of stunning!

He finishes in self-contradiction. Johnny talks solely of Bongo ‘We are not looking for our boy exhibited as a teenage curiosity, Bongo Herbert, we should all keep in mind, is an actual image of recent youth.’ he emphasises. To which Gilbert Harding replies ‘Youngsters are regarded by the company with the deepest reverence’. The Reverend continues: We have now to succeed in the youth on his or her personal stage. I began a jive membership on the youth membership someday in the past, then a skiffle membership and now I believe we could have a Bongo membership in my crypt.

Johnny now sees a spiritual angle to advertise Bongo and lies to the viewers when he tells them they each go to church on Sunday, a ploy to induce assist for his now ‘non secular’ Bongo in any means doable. Johnny Jackson lastly realises in a peak of intuitive readability that Bongo’s second tune ought to have a motherly and non secular angle (Shrine on the Second Flooring) and promotes his concept to the file mogul. These conniving pitches are indicative of how the file industry machine operates.

As he walks along with his protégé in direction of a backstage get together, he tells Bongo ‘You must get into the behavior of cultivating the fitting folks as a result of each proper individual you meet makes you extra proper’. Extra exploitative recommendation to confuse {the teenager}’s morals. Mankowitz’s story always verges on being a stringent social doc. It appears to suppress an pressing need to scream on the sordid issues it portrays.49 His desires of success are dashed by his greater desires of wealth, exemplified by his contractual phrases with Bongo by taking 50% gross of the lads earnings. That is lastly delivered to a head when the president of Garrick Data tears up Johnny’s illegal contract with Bongo and indicators him to his personal label, with American backing. After shedding all the pieces to the company ranks Johnny tells his girlfriend ‘It is a bastard world and I am a totally paid up member’. ‘I created one Bongo Herbert, I can do it once more’. as he walks off into one other suspect deal for a musical about Omar Khayyam.

Given the resonance, Expresso Bongo might be meaningfully positioned inside a wider aesthetic of Social Realism which characterised British cinema within the late 1950’s and early sixties. Scriptwriter Mankovitz cleverly blended and blended each the cosmopolitan Soho substances and the combo of ethnic cultures.

Beat Woman 1959 – The Teenager

In Beat Woman, the pop musical adjustments its tone from a collection of light-hearted romps equivalent to in The Golden Disc to the rise to stardom in The Tommy Steele Story to the crash and failure in Expresso Bongo. It takes the juvenile delinquency, made standard in Britain with such movies as Lewis Gilbert’s Cosh Boy (1952) and Terence Younger’s Severe Change (1958). Beat Woman leaves the light-hearted jaunt of The Tommy Steele Story and The Golden Disc supping espresso within the espresso bar, to transcend the backstage into the depths of Soho’s depravity: the stripclub supervisor’s workplace.

Beat Woman, set in 1959, intensifies the social indignation that surrounded the honey pot of Soho’s erotic temptations; the espresso bar popular culture juxtaposed with striptease and prostitution. Sally Ann Subject’s character, Jennifer, is the underage higher center class artwork pupil learning at St Martin’s College of Artwork. She is consultant of the type of teenager who would possibly overstep the overall rule of her conservative dad and mom and Christian upbringing. A moody, sullen teenage beat lady she digs her heels in when her father remarries and she or he discovers her new “mom” has a sordid previous! She hangs out within the ‘Off Beat’ espresso bar with Adam Religion and friends. He performs the statutory co-starring (actor/performer) function: the undiscovered radical ‘pop star’: the ‘can be’ Terry Dene, Tommy Steele, Cliff Richard character. Along with his guitar, he’s the indignant undiscovered younger singer/guitarist. ‘Alcohol is for squares, kid’s play.’ Adam Religion proclaims utilizing beatnik slang with a James Dean’s Insurgent With no Trigger angle, with hen, drag racing and striptease. However the movie is concerning the lady and her incessant need to transgress her dad and mom’ authority; portraying a teen transfixed by the seedy facet of the Soho. The strip joints and its lewd ideas dominate the script thereby exploiting the teenage viewers’s need for the risque and beforehand unseen. John Barry creates the music within the lip synch mode with a full rating centred across the signature tune’s catchy 12 bar riff. When it comes to articulation of songs within the movie Beat Woman is much like Severe Cost with Adam Religion singing alongside to the juke-box.

Each of those movies proved to be remoted incidents of the extremely uncommon marriage of the efficiency and lip-synch modes, as different movies tended to make use of the efficiency mode whereas derivations of the musical movie used the lip-synch mode.

Beat Woman appears uncertain of methods to combine pop songs and dramatic efficiency, with the consequence that they try and include the pop singers’ performances inside a totally diegetic mode, however have extra in widespread with the lip synch mode than the efficiency mode. Her father asks ‘The place do you get your kicks? Hanging round espresso outlets listening to gramophone data and jiving in underground dives’. She replies ‘You might be such a sq. aren’t you?’ He asks ‘This language, these phrases what does it imply?’ She retorts It means us! One thing that’s ours! One thing we did not get from our dad and mom. We will specific ourselves. And so they have no idea what we’re speaking about… it makes us totally different.

He asks her once more ‘Why do you must really feel so totally different?’ She retorts: It is all we acquired. Vavoom! The world goes up in smoke tomorrow and what is the rating – zero. So now whereas its now, we do all the pieces for kicks. The generally awkward scripting of Beat Woman was irrelevant on the time. It might be seen, particularly with the camerawork of Walter Lasselly (one of many key gamers of the quickly to be established ‘Free’ cinema motion), as early social realism and established the pop musical ‘Teen Pic’ as a historic social doc. The espresso store turns into a shrine, a temple of enlightenment. This affords additional juxtaposition of faith and the ‘sq.’ (the picture given the church within the late fifties) to the rebelliousness of {the teenager} and beatnik tradition. The viewers of younger principally underage juveniles is simply the identical as we see in right now’s bars consuming alcopops. A elementary a part of our genetic chain so indicative of adolescent growth?

Think about all of the issues we are able to do with out breaking the regulation, its authorized. Beat Woman

John Barry launched Adam to songwriter Johnny Value who supplied to jot down for Adam. A recording session was mounted up with EMI’s Parlophone label and John Barry was enlisted to offer the backing, for which he used his newly devised pizzicato string sound. The consequence was the traditional What Do You Need (1959) which featured Adam’s pronunciation of the phrase ‘child’ as ‘bye-bee’ which turned considered one of his early commerce marks. The only entered the charts at quantity 18, and shortly climbed to No 1 in December 1959, the place it stayed for 4 weeks. His follow-up Poor Me additionally made No 1 and over the following three years he loved a run of 11 Prime 20 hits. In September 1961 he made the transfer to cabaret as Tommy Steele had performed. He carried out on the twenty first birthday celebration held for the daughter of millionaire writer Sir Edward Hulton. Inside weeks of that occasion, Adam Religion opened at east London’s trendy nightspot of the day The Room on the Prime in Ilford. In 1960 was described by rock writers as a part of the Holy Trinity (Adam Religion, Billy Fury and Cliff Richard) and was the primary British pop star to confess to premarital intercourse.

Pop Tv 57 – 60

Till 1957, British tv had closed down for an hour at 6pm in order to provide dad and mom an opportunity to place their youngsters to bed. The BBC then determined to introduce a present for younger folks on Saturdays to start out at 6.05, it was named the 6.5 Particular. They appointed two of their youngest producers: 27-year-olds Josephine (Jo) Douglas and an Oxford College graduate, Londoner Jack Good. Jack was to turn out to be the undisputed champion of rock ‘n’ roll on British TV. The present launched the hand jive and Good even wrote an instruction guide, Hand Jive on the 6.5. The stay rock’n’roll music presentation of Good’s production (the primary of its type within the UK) turned the hallmark for all his future TV exhibits, and certainly a benchmark for all standard music displays in the way forward for stay tv.

Within the tv film aboard the 6-5 Particular, the 2 lady protagonists sit within the buffet coach. ‘We have eaten the steak now lets speak turkey.’ Jean says however stage frightened singer Ann, jumps prepare at a station as her agent proposes she ought to audition in entrance of the expertise scouts Pete Murray and Jo Douglas, who simply occur to be on board. They reboard the 6-5 Particular they arrive throughout Finlay Cowen, a retired music corridor performer who advises her: ‘These days there’s lots of of deluded, untalented, unteachable, starry-eyed one thing or nothing goofs who need to break into an already overcrowded occupation with its scrambled and untidy ranks, so watch out’.

Subsequent they meet the expertise scout Pete Murray who sits there like Pop Idol’s Simon Cowell. The timid singer bursts into tune as a full orchestra erupts from nowhere because the prepare steams on. The movie tries to bend all of the sound guidelines and this early tv film is in an expressive actuality ‘diegetic mayhem’.

The influential distinction in sound between stay tv broadcasting and movie soundtracks, was that tv was depending on the stay efficiency mode whereas the movie soundtrack went by way of a extra diversified interval attempting to take advantage of the product they had been promoting through the use of the lip synch and efficiency mode creating a bigger than life presentation. The ambient diegetic movie enhancing of music in these early backstage musicals had been glimpses into the beginnings of business exploitation in pop, which led to the delivery of the pop video.

With the BBC introducing The 6-5 Particular (1957) and ABC Tv with Prepared Regular Go (1958). Each had been transmitted concurrently on Saturdays at 6 p.m.

Tv producer Jack Good invented rock’n’roll tv in Britain and masterminded each exhibits at totally different occasions within the interval between September 1958 and 1959. He noticed each Cliff Richard and Marty Wilde (by way of Larry Parnes) who he wooed to stardom, amongst a bunch of others. This included the thought of founding father of pop music Lonnie Donegan most popular to not be steered into all spherical leisure and along with his cohorts Ken Colyer and Alexis Korner saved aloof of mass adulation and sellout stardom. He starred because the headlining performer on the movie model of 6-5 Particular

In a music press interview previous to the primary presentation of, Jack Good outlined the essential goals.

Jack Good explains: We intend to make this essentially the most organised present on tv,’ he started, ‘and likewise one of many quickest and most enjoyable. I am on the lookout for a sure kind of viewers response. It is like as if an viewers had been sitting in a theatre quietly after which had been confronted by a blistering stage present that by no means lets up for one second. We purpose to startle viewers with fast, full of life presentation, and since I am satisfied that comedy, regardless of how good, tends to decelerate a present of this sort, we won’t be that includes any comedians.

! was in direct competitors to BBC’s 6.5 Particular, previously produced by Jack Good. Frankly, I am thrilled on the prospect, and the essence of competitors should clearly encourage us to work doubly exhausting. Lastly, what fashion of music will we hear on! For a begin there will be a preponderance of Massive Beat materials from the cream of Britain’s ‘rockers.’ However that does not imply that ballads are out of favour. Proper now, the development in pop music typically is veering in direction of a extra melodic conception, and we’ll comply with that development.

From the primary rehearsal checklist of! (Saturday thirteenth Sept 1958), it might been seen that each tune used was in reality a canopy model of another person’s hit. The Dallas Boys sang Buddy Holly’s Suppose It Over and Gene Vincent’s Rocky Highway Blues, Neville Taylor & The Cutters sang the Coaster’s Yakety Yak and the Everly Brothers Oh What a Feeling, Lord Rockingham’s XI carried out two medleys. Marty Wild sang Buddy Knox’s Any individual Touched Me along with a medley with the Dallas Boys wherein he sang Elvis’ Child I Don’t Care and Ricky Nelson’s Poor Little Idiot. Jimmy Henney launched a brand new expertise making his debut tv look: 17 yr previous Cliff Richard backed by his group The Drifters. Cliff pouted and gyrated his means by way of Milton Allen’s Don’t Bug Me Child

In 1958 Cliff Richard appeared in 13 of the sixteen exhibits broadcast since September 1958 and topped the invoice on a lot of them. In early December he collapsed with exhaustion. Performing twice nightly on the variability circuit, rehearsing for in the course of the daytime in addition to filming Severe Cost at Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, had taken its toll on his well being. Offended on the obvious exploitation and overworking of his son, Cliff’s father sacked his supervisor Franklyn Boyd. In January 1959, the BBC moved their new flagship pop present Drumbeat ahead from 6pm on Saturday (the place it was in direct competitors with!) to six.30pm as a result of it was shedding the scores warfare. On listening to the information, Jack Good stated in a NME interview

I ought to assume they now have an excellent probability of succeeding! Certainly it’s doable each channels will enhance their viewers score because of now not being in direct competitors.

In Could 1959 with simply 5 exhibits to run earlier than the top of the collection, Drumbeat makes a concerted try and safe large identify artists which included Adam Religion, Terry Dene, and John Barry for its broadcasts over the summer time of 1959 when it holds a monopoly over teenage viewers with none competitors ended on ITV in Could 1959, and was changed with Boy Meets Woman in September 1959.

It was definitely a task mannequin for later music exhibits equivalent to Prepared Regular Go and Prime of the Pops, all of which have given youth a platform to specific their views and their skills. Prepared Regular Go was a mirror which not solely mirrored, however actively helped to form the formative tastes of a whole technology, and stands right now as an historic file of a very long time of speedy social change and rising new id. As undoubtedly essential because it was then, Prepared Regular Go has turn out to be much more essential as a televisual window by way of which we are able to as soon as once more witness the method of a altering world, by way of the highly effective and evocative medium of its music.

Spike Milligan, a eager fan of the music scene in the course of the Fifties, offered a documentary for the Boulting Brothers entitled Milligan at Massive Meets Joe Brown (1959). He calls the file industry ‘the revolving

door of the adolescent lots’. Within the programme Jack Good tells Joe Brown ‘don’t jig about to a lot’ as he rehearses for tv. On this tongue-in-cheek have a look at early pop music tv production, Good tells Spike that Joe is just not a typical ‘pop star’ who normally styled themselves on James Dean or Elvis, Joe is himself along with his personal jiggy dance fashion and may really play the guitar in contrast to many artists. Spike notices that they rehearse with out sheet music, which was virtually forbidden within the days earlier than rock’n’roll. He requested pop Svengali Larry Parnes ‘Do you assume beat music is right here to remain?’ ‘Oh most undoubtedly I imagine it was right here earlier than I used to be born and can nonetheless be right here after I’m gone 트로트 가수 순위‘.

The mixture of Jack Good as the tv producer and Larry Parnes as showbiz impresario started a speedy movement of the unique pop idols to tv. Elvis impersonating or moody James Dean look alikes had been flooding into their workplaces. They shone as demi-gods to the music industry. Lional Bart was one other key participant together with Norrie Paramor…

These movies are united by way more than the crude exploitation and spectacularisation of a teenage musical fad. The tales advised by these movies matter an important deal, insofar as they constantly proffer a reducing critique of the tradition industries; a critique that subsequently turns into the muse for popular culture. They painting the music industry in such crucial and ambiguous phrases that they successfully ‘manufacture authenticity’ for audiences by constantly representing the antithesis of authenticity (alienation, fraud, manipulation, phoniness, corruption and so forth.) as evils to be prevented. These movies contributed the ideological basis of rock’n’roll and popular culture within the UK in the course of the fifties.

We is probably not ready, retrospectively, to determine whether or not teen audiences circa 1952-62 internalised these critiques, however neither can we ignore the truth that, roughly 5 to 10 years later, a mass tradition (rock) emerged that was organised exactly round these discourses. Regardless of their standing as teenpics these exploitative motion pictures jumped on the newest musical fad of the time, they successfully showcased authenticity, by advantage of the onslaught of inauthentic parts (fraud corruption manipulation, exploitation) which are demonised and repudiated. From the naivetyy of The Tommy Steele Story to the juvenile delinquency of Beat Woman every course of instilled an historic epitaph to the altering tradition of the time. This popular culture blossomed with unstoppable exuberance. The pop motion pictures mentioned listed here are equally narratives concerning the manufacture of celeb, that includes the transformation of a ‘no one’ right into a ‘someone’. As with the 4 actors. And bear in mind people its the viewers that make them stars in any other case they’re identical to you and me. Rock on.
