A rollicking fun time in the spirit of "Hairspray"
Ron Mann's lively documentary combines a remarkable wealth of archival footage, latter-day interviews and lots of great music. The film features Hank Ballard, who originally wrote the song, and Chubby Checker, who made the Twist famous by making it move. Mann's account of the dance that changed the social fabric of an era is an engaging combination of history and cultural critique and includes for the uninitiated, clear instructions for twisting.
