...writer-director, who had made his rep with no-budget comedies about the filthiest people south of the Mason-Dixon line, for once gave his movie an upbeat conclusion that real life couldn't match. "The Buddy Deane Show" never was integrated; it ended its run in the mid-60s as white-bread as always, and staler than ever. By this time "Bandstand" had moved from its original location in Philadelphia (100 miles north of Baltimore) to Los Angeles, where the kids had better bodies and deeper tans, and even the white-ethnic tinge of the teen dancers disappeared into...
