DVD Review
Wild Guitar & The Choppers
by Derek Hill
Wild Guitar is ostensibly a story about a young naïve kid (named Bud Eagle) from the "sticks" who comes to Hollywood to make it big as a rock 'n' roll singer. As played by Arch Hall Jr., Bud is almost too stupid to be true. With his white pompadour and pug-nosed hayseed looks (which would later be utilized to great effect in 1963's The Sadist), Bud is the archetypal fifties vulnerable rebel, although he's pretty white bread to be considered a rebel in the James Dean or Marlon Brando mold.
