Bizarre sixties fable resembling Romeo and Juliet, but instead of Montagues and Capulets, there are two musical communities, one who like rock and roll and one who like ballads, who become reunited through the love between a couple who love across their grouping. It features little furry puppets called Gonks.
This endearing yet still tedious slice of 1960s nonsense stars Carry On stalwart Kenneth Connor as the Martian mediator in the war between Beatland and Balladisle - we all know rockin' hepcats and lounge lizards are mortal enemies, right? With the threat of exile to the planet Gonk hanging over the proceedings, a Romeo and Juliet-style romance between the factions is arranged, providing the excuse for a seemingly endless parade of forgettable songs. Lulu and Ginger Baker are among the misguided musicians doing their best in this daft flop.
