Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
More 'F Troop' than 'Fort Apache,' this tale of Confederate spies, showgirls and comic Indians has achieved a certain must-see notoriety among music fans with a taste for camp because of its status as the only star vehicle ever produced for Roy Orbison.

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
The Fastest Guitar Alive is an old-fashioned, good-natured bad movie-to be seen at exam time, or at a drive-in, or when you just feel like seeing a movie you won't have to discuss afterward.

Rating: D --
Leaden farce with added country music, which is just as leaden.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Posing as purveyors of a snake-oil elixir, Johnny and Steve are really Confederate spies out to nab a major cure-all for depleted rebel coffers: $150,000 in gold from the San Francisco mint. What, you say the war is over? Well, maybe the good ol' boys can return the lucre...and avoid being arrested in the process!
Roy Orbison essays his lone feature-film role as Johnny, he of the guitar that can twang a chord and riff bullets. The story elements -- amiable Indians (including Iron Eyes Cody) "invent" popcorn, a wagonload of cuties tag along with Johnny and, of course, there's that guitar -- are a ramble, but the tale agreeably frames seven tunes featuring crooner Orbison's signature tremolo. Watch where you point that six-stringer, Roy.
