Go, Johnny, Go!	comment	Go, Johnny, Go! is a 1959 Rock & Roll musical film.Despite the name of the film coming from the hit song "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry and Berry appearing in the film As Himself, the film is actually centered on a young singer who goes by the stage name of Johnny Melody (Jimmy Clanton). Berry and disc jockey Alan Freed (also playing himself) discuss Freed's discovery of Johnny, telling his story: Johnny was once a choir boy from an orphanage with a love for rock 'n' roll that at first few others share. As years pass, he re-connects with an old friend from the orphanage, Julie Arnold (Sandy Stewart), just as Freed announces a talent search for the next big singer.

Go, Johnny, Go! / int_8cf6aa	comment	Literal Metaphor: When Freed is telling Chuck Berry about the discovery of Johnny, he says that Johnny's fate once hinged on the toss of a coin. It is later shown that when Johnny's record received an overwhelming response which started a public search for him, Julie and Freed at one point did actually flip a coin to decide in which direction to look.

Go, Johnny, Go! / int_a5e0c01	comment	As Himself: Besides Berry and Freed, several rock 'n' roll musicians and acts appear, such as Jackie Wilson, Eddie Cochran, Ritchie Valens, Jo Ann Campbell, Harvey Fuqua, and the Cadillacs, among others. This film was in fact the last film appearance of both Cochran and Valens (and in Valens's case, actually the only one).
