Two Tickets to Paris is a 1962 film directed by Greg Garrison and starring Joey Dee and the Starliters.
An engaged couple, Joey and Piper, travel to Paris where Joey has a gig performing.
The film was made independently by Harry Romm, who had produced Hey, Let's Twist (1961). He used the same director of that film, Greg Garrison, and cast Joey Dee, who was known for the Peppermint Twist. It was originally going to be called Viva La Twist[1] but this was changed.
The cast included Gary Crosby who had been in many film musicals such as Mardi Gras, and Kay Medford, who had been in Bye Bye Birdie on stage. The film was shot in May 1962 at a studio in New York, the Production Center on 221 West Street, with some filming about a liner and the RoundTable nightclub. Filming finished by 8 June.[2] [3]
Columbia agreed to distribute.
The New York Times called the film "pitiful".[4] The Monthly Film Bulletin criticised the "meagre and labouriously contrived story... the dialogue is unfunny."[5]
A soundtrack album was released.[6]
