Dobie Gillis - The Sweet Singer of Central High

Dobie tries to get into the high school octet to impress money-grubbing girlfriend Thalia, even though Milton Armitage (Warren Beatty) can sing better than he can. However, it turns out that he does a pretty fair Elvis imitation, which impresses the girls no end, of course. Thalia (always with an eye for the profit) becomes his manager, selling buttons and scarfs. Even his eternally-skeptical father becomes a fan, and his mother (Florida Friebus) is almost a groupie. At the Octet concert, Thalia brings a recording scout, and he is swamped by girls. Thalia becomes jealous, but Dobie explains that he cannot have romantic attachments, because every girl has to think he is singing to her. For the final number on the concert, he flops, and his public disappears instantly.
