Bye Bye Birdie (1963)
Anfang der sechziger Jahre erhält Rock'n'Roll-Star Birdie die Einberufung zum Militär, was nicht nur jungen und junggebliebenen Mädchen auf der ganzen Welt einen Schlag versetzt. Auch sein Manager Albert sieht seine finanzielle Zukunft und dadurch die Heirat mit seiner Rosie gefährdet, weshalb er einen großen Coup plant: Birdie soll in der legendären Ed Sullivan Show von einem einfachen High-School-Mädchen mit einem großartig inszenierten Abschiedskuss bedacht werden.
