Talk:Little Darlin'

wasn't this song in another movie besides American Graffiti? I caught part of it on tv once and it was very similar to American Graffiti but the threat of fighting in vietnam was present so it had to be set after 1967 or so. 99.137.4.100 (talk) 18:42, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

I remember seeing part of a black and white movie about Rock and Roll from the music industries POV that included a performance of this by the Diamonds, but I never did know the film's name, so yes, it was in another movie, but I've no idea which one. Maybe IMDB can point us in the right direction. JDZeff (talk) 01:48, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Yes, it did. The movie was The Big Beat, 1958. Alas, IMDB isn't an acceptable source, so I can't add it, but if I ever run across a better source, I'll put it into the article. JDZeff (talk) 01:53, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

The movie mentioned above with the Vietnam War may have been There Goes My Baby. I haven't seen it, but IMDb lists The Diamond's version of "Little Darlin'" as part of the soundtrack and the Storyline section seems like a good match: "In the final few days of Pop's Paradise - a hamburger joint that's been a second home to Westwood High's senior class - and a group of friends must face the biggest decisions of their lives. There's Stick, a surfer headed for Vietnam, Pirate, who wants to discover America along Route 66, and Michael, whose political activism may destroy his Harvard-bound future. Little do any of them realize that their final carefree days will also mark the end of their - and all of America's - innocence." kane2742 (talk) 16:31, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
