When Elvis-like rock & roll star Conrad Birdie is drafted into the military, the teen nation is united by a contest in which the winner bestows a farewell kiss upon their idol while on the Ed Sullivan Show. Ann-Margret (in her film debut) is the lucky little lady from Sweet Apple, Ohio, who wins the contest, much to the chagrin of her steady beau (Bobby Rydell) and miserable parents (Paul Lynde and Mary LaRoche). Dick Van Dyke and Janet Leigh are an older couple kept from marrying by his meddlesome mother, played to the hilt by Maureen Stapleton. Lightweight but fun, this features an exuberant soundtrack with such memorable ditties as "Put on a Happy Face" and "Kids" and the title track. This is a much better choice than the lackluster, 1995 made-for-TV version. --Rochelle O'Gorman

musical dvd
I purchased this for my granddaughters who saw a production of this musical and loved it. they were delighted with the video.

Promptness and Only Found on Amazon.com

I was looking for a Bye Bye Birdie DVD. I checked every store around and no one had the DVD. Many stores told me it was out of print.

I contacted Amazon and the DVD came up immediately and I received it prior to the scheduled date by Amazon. Thank you

It was ordered for a birthday and made it in time for the big day. Thanks again. Barbara

For those who don't believe in musicals (that would include me!) this movie is just good fun. Great for all ages. Great movie to watch with the entire family.
