1994 film
Shake, Rattle and Rock! is a 1994 television film starring Renée Zellweger, Howie Mandel, and members of the Grammy-nominated R&B band For Real. The film was produced by Lou Arkoff (son of B movie producer Samuel Z. Arkoff) as part of the Rebel Highway series of television films made in a short-lived revival of American International Pictures that aired on the Showtime television network.
In 1950s America, teenage rebellion comes easy when something like rock ‘n’ roll is viewed as sinful. Looking to have a good time while they’re young, Susan (Renée Zellweger), Cookie (Patricia Childress) and Tony (Max Perlich) — three teenagers from a small town—start a nightclub where host Danny Klay (Howie Mandel) introduces the newest rock ‘n’ roll talent, and everyone can dance the night away. Of course, not everyone in town is happy with the new establishment.
