    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Ironically, Bobby Rydell, who plays the timid Hugo Peabody, was himself a national teen idol before and after the film's production. In fact, in contrast to the original stage musical where Michael J. Pollard played the role, the part of Hugo was expanded significantly in the film to accommodate his teen celebrity.
    • Goofs
      After Rosie pulls the McAfee family out of the audience at The Ed Sullivan Show (1948), two different shots of the Russian conductor show the McAfees still sitting in the audience.
    • Quotes
      • Rose DeLeon: I must be the prized dope of all-time... thinking I could pry you away from your mama's ever-lovin' tentacles.
    • Crazy credits
      There is no "The End" credit or cast list at the end of the film. Ann-Margret simply sings an on-screen reprise of the song "Bye Bye Birdie" at the end, and then says " 'Bye, now!"
