Twist craze fuels three new films in Hollywood
Hollywood reports film industry bets on the Twist with Sam Katzman rushing Twister Around the Clock to market. Katzman recalls Earth V.S. the Flying Saucers and Uranium Boom as past hits while Columbia doubts the fad yet. He promises a New York Chicago release by Christmas after eight days of pre production. The finale on set shows Chubby Checker and others twisting in a hip swiveled rhythm, with the dancer’s hands waving and bodies moving in Elvis like style.
