For a few years there were a heap of British rock films which consisted of rock acts and some vague story. Don Sharp did one, so did Michael Winner. This was Richard Lester's effort. (There were American ones too some made by Amicus who did this).
There's some fun Lester touches like the opening sequence. I'd probably enjoy this more if I recognised the acts. There's bands I'd never heard of like The Temperance Seven. I've got to say though their songs, with this slightly absurdist staging and French subtitles, was fun.
It's actually an engaging film, full of energy. More enjoyable than The Mouse in the Moon. The music acts come fast, there's kind of a story, it's imaginatively staged.
