Young Americans

"The new beat!.. The new bounce! The new joy-generation!"

Sep 18 1968 Approved 1h 44m
Documentary, Music

A 1967 pseudo-documentary film chronicling the travel experiences of The Young Americans choir. It was given an Academy Award in 1969, though it was revoked because it was released in 1967 and was thus ineligible, the only film in history to have done so.

Plot

A behind-the-scenes look at the Young Americans, a show choir made up of young singers who project an image of all-American wholesomeness as they tour the country and perform.
