	The Gene Krupa Story Movie

Movie could have been a bit more bio, however, Sal Mineo was at his best <br />in recreating the crazy drum-style of Mr Krupa and when I first saw this <br />film, I thought that the drumming was done by Sal (very convincing syncro- <br />nization). I only wish that the studio had use the character actor Harry <br />Guardino as the older Gene Krupa in the latter part of the movie. How- <br />ever, the film is a classic. *Viewer Reviews* Sal Mineo plays big band drummer Gene Krupa from his early days playing in speakeasies to later fame with Jimmy Dorsey's orchestra, followed by his scandalous arrest on drug charges and subsequent black-listing. Mineo is outstanding as the dynamic drummer, capturing his wild, pounding style, stick-syncing to Krupa's actual playing. Handsome James Darren (Gidget) sings a few songs as Gene's stalwart pal and almost steals the show. Susan Kohner gives a strong performance as Gene's long-time girlfriend and future wife. This bio pic is melodramatic and predictable and has the look of the fifties instead of the thirties, but it's still quite enjoyable thanks to the good actors and electrifying drum solos. Back To Top
