A Thing Called Dough

The Cool Ones are fun-lovin' American kids who want nothing less than to make a billion dollars as rock-'n'-roll singers and become instant celebrities. Among them is Debbie Watson (TV's Tammy), a Go-Go bird in a gilded cage who busts loose and tries to make her way to the top of the charts. Should she decide that happiness is just a thing called dough? Or should she step down into the role of mousewife to her baritone boy friend (Gil Peterson)? Eventually, as is proper in this kind of Hollywood hokum, she does both. But before the final fadeout she is preached at and screeched at by Roddy McDowall as her manager, Phil Harris as a TV producer, and Mrs. Miller (TIME, May 13, 1966) as herself. After a cascade of blaring echo-chamber numbers, Mrs. Miller's wobbly warbling sounds peculiarly pure and fresh. She seems the coolest of them all.
