Toomorrow (film)

Toomorrow is a 1970 British science fiction musical film directed by Val Guest and starring Olivia Newton-John.

Sonic vibrations from a special instrument, a "tonaliser", cause an extra-terrestrial to abduct the group and have them entertain the Alphoid population.

[citation needed] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Harry Saltzman's extravagance (wide-open sets and sub-2001 effects) and Don Kirshner's fixed conception of young people's tastes in entertainment ... combine to produce a glossy and empty-headed pop fantasy, as computerised as the Alphoids' soulless music.

To avoid any comparisons with his previous creation, The Monkees, Kirshner's new supergroup of four includes a winsome starlet and a token negro.

If this antiseptic crew had really dared to set foot on the stage of the Round House during a pop festival, dressed up like canaries and singing their cute songs of love and tears, they would have been booed, quite deservedly, off it again.

"[8] In a March 1971 edition of the British music magazine NME, Newton-John commented "Our film died a death and it was all a bit of a shambles.

[9] Don Kirshner died in January 2011, and in March 2012 the movie was released on DVD in the UK by Pickwick having licensed the film from the estate of writer and director Val Guest.
