A rough version of that clip was uploaded on YouTube in 2007 whose sound track was overdubbed with The Dakotas’ instrumental ‘the cruel sea’, released in July 1963, leading many to suspect the film to date from the early 1960s.

*undergroundbasement (YTcomm 2010) You brits call them QUIFFs …we yanks call them POMPADOURs , before I lost my hair I wore my hair in a puffed up rock-a-billy Elvis style, all the old timers used to comment on my “Pompadour” and Ducktail , I had never heard the word “Pompadour” , so I looked it up.

*orkothegreat (YTcomm, 2008) well… I really prefer the good old rockabilly pompadour.The teddy boy hair cut is too much

*A.C. Acquafondata (YTcomm, 2009) well for the higher pomp i use murrays or another thicker wax like AGS 90wt. for the more 50s look i use royal crown.i really want to use Black and white. johnny cash and elvis used it and i like the more retro 50s look more than the modern pomp. hope i helped if you have further questions or need me to further elaborate something just ask. i just sounded so professional haha.
