“What’s the Matter with Kids Today?”

Conrad Birdie (Marc Kudisch), a famous self-centered rock and roll star, is about to be drafted into the military (shades of Elvis). A plot/plan to make several people happy and rich is to have Conrad bestow “One Last Kiss” on a randomly chosen young lady from his fan club. The lucky girl is Kim McAfee (Chynna Phillips), much to the consternation of her steady boyfriend. This will be done on the Ed Sullivan Show. Many other lives and fortunes revolve around this plan. Much more entertaining than the story is the interaction of the characters, and this is a musical. After watching an earlier version, the selection of actors seems a tad strange. An earlier version of this movie came from a stage play and focused on Ann Margaret as Kim McAfee. You will want to watch both as a comparison. This version has three added songs: “Let’s Settle Down,” “A Mother Does Not Matter Anymore, and “A Giant Step”. I find myself singing many of the songs.
