Twist
Director Ron Mann proves he's the doyen of pop culture documentaries with this thoroughly entertaining story of how one song transformed a nation. During the 1950s, the soulful, gyrating rhythms of R & B, such as Hank Ballard's 'The Twist', were barred from the squeaky clean dance floors of American Bandstand. However, with the help of Dick Clark's dancers and Chubby Checker's more sanitized version of the song, it soon became a national craze.
