Small Faces - I've Got Mine (movie film feature in Dateline Diamonds 1965)
Dateline Diamonds - Wikipedia This is a 'pop and cop' movie apparently. We have been trying to work out what others might called Pop and Cop. Any ideas?
It is an example of the "pop and cop" genre of film, which was popular in the UK during the early 1960s and was intended to present young musical talents to the teenage market.[3]

Directed by Lawrence Gordon Clark[1][2] for the anthology series ITV Playhouse, it was first broadcast on 24 April 1979. Adapted by Clive Exton,[2][3] it reimagines the events of James's story taking place in the late 1970s and changes the central protagonist to be a female character.[4]
