Take off on a cosmic music trip with the new ‘Toomorrow’
Film Synopsis
Toomorrow (1970) presents four London art students whose pop group uses an electronic instrument called the tonaliser. When its unusual vibrations reach an orbiting spacecraft, an alien agent sets out to obtain the musicians whose sound could restore his ailing society. This British science-fiction musical moves between London campus comedy and brightly coloured alien spectacle, with mod-pop numbers driving both its plot and period style.
Critical Perspective
-
The misbegotten brainchild of James Bond producer Harry Saltzman and pop legend Don Kirshner, the idea was to launch the title band like the latter previously did with ‘The Monkees’ TV series. … Even by the poor Moon Zero Two (1969) standards of the day, this intergalactic fantasy frolic was flattened froth.
