Life in Liverpool still requires a sense of humor, but instead of the old, leather-jacketed menace of the gangs, there are now 350 "beat groups." The beat throbs loudly, anonymously, cheerfully, from 25 beat clubs and at least 75 other "venues." The groups sport such virile names as "The Profiles" and "The Cruisers," and the music has lost its early and highly anomalous English sound; the Liverpudlian accent lends itself nicely to lyrics of the "You got everthing' bay-bee" school, and Merseyside rock groups such as Ian and the Zodiacs sound just like they come from...

Audrey, (whose back may be old from her front by the position of her face and the direction her shoes are pointing) will pursue Cary avidly. But he will grant her nary a peck--contending she's young enough to be his granddaughter--until the last hundred feet of film, when he'll propose...
