About The Continental Twist
Sam Butera and the Witnesses perform several Twist numbers to save a small New Orleans nightclub and raise the bail to get Louis Prima out of jail.
Directed by William J. Hole Jr., Allan David, The Continental Twist leans on a strong ensemble — Louis Prima, June Wilkinson, Sam Butera — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1961.
