Toomorrow (Blu-ray)
Director: Val Guest
London-based pop group Toomorrow, fronted by Olivia (Olivia Newton-John), are attempting to pay their way through college with their music. Unbeknownst to them, the sonic vibrations from their ‘tonaliser’ have been picked up by the Alphoid Galactic Control and identified as the only solution to saving the Alphoids from extinction.
This science fiction musical comedy directed by Val Guest and produced by Don Kirshner (musical producer of The Monkees) and Harry Saltzman (James Bond) was shelved after one week in cinemas due to a lawsuit and was impossible to watch by the public for decades. The film is presented here having been newly scanned and restored.
