Plot Summary
The career of the British Invasion pop group Herman's Hermits was in full, fan-shrieking, disc-selling orbit when their first top-billed movie came to theaters, so maybe it's only natural to think NASA would want to name a rocket after them. Well, at least that's what's at stake in this 1966 romp that has the five lads on a U.S. tour, where they're mobbed by various birds and secretly monitored by a nerdy scientist to determine if they are rocket worthy. Yes, Hold On! is not so much about making sense as it is about having fun. A double fistful of Hermits' songs (including the Top-10 hits A Must to Avoid and Leaning on the Lamp Post) adds to the good times. Shelley Fabares, no stranger to the charts with 1962's Johnny Angel, costars.

Cute, Fluffy Plot; Great Music
Much in line with the "sand and surf" movies of the 60s, this movie's plot isn't very complicated or hard to follow. The music is mainly performed by the British band, Herman's Hermits, but does have one song Shelley Fabares croons. It's definitely worth watching for the adorable chemistry between Shelly Fabares and Peter Noone (a.k.a. "Herman"), great music, and nice vintage views of the Santa Monica Pier.
