Anglo-Amalgamated tried to do a Hard Day's Night with the Dave Clark Dive. It's not really a musical though more a sort of gloomy road movie/satire of British society with a Dave Clark Five soundtrack.
Stunt man Dave Clark runs off with model Barbara Ferris and they have adventures - meeting beatniks, an upper class couple, going to a fancy dress party, going horse riding, encountering army maneuvres.
Look it's interesting.Songs play on the soundtrack but no one sings.
Clark is good looking but doesn't have much life. Ferris is okay but struggles a little against him. None of the others get much of a look in.
Michael Blakemore was Boorman's assistant, Alex Jacobs was producer David Deutsch's assistant, peter Nichols wrote the script. So a lot of talent. Interesting visuals.
The film stuck with me after.
