Post Description

The Young Ones (US title: Wonderful to Be Young!) is a British musical released in 1961 
featuring singer Cliff Richard. 
The musical was directed by Sidney J. Furie and was produced by Kenneth Harper and Andrew Mitchell 
for the Associated British Studios at Elstree. 
The original screenplay was written by Peter Myers and Ronald Cass, who also wrote most of the songs. 
The cast included Robert Morley, Carole Gray, Melvyn Hayes, Teddy Green, Richard O'Sullivan, Robertson Hare 
Gerald Harper, Rita Webb, and The Shadows. Herbert Ross choreographed the musical numbers.

The story concerns Richard and his chums (including Hayes, Green and O'Sullivan, in roles originally 
intended for members of The Shadows) trying to save their youth club from unscrupulous millionaire property 
developer, Hamilton Black (Morley). 
The gang decide to put on a show to raise money to buy a lease renewal. 
The twist is that Cliff Richard's character, Nicky Black, is in reality Hamilton Black's son. 
He keeps this secret from his friends until some of them try to kidnap Black senior 
at which stage he reveals himself to the attackers. 
The following scene shows Nicky and his friends pleading with Black Senior to give the club back to the youth. 
He eventually relents and the credits roll.
