gonks go beat (1965)


"yes he shook something or other."
Romeo and Juliette tale where instead of the Montagues and Capulets, there is ballad isle and beatland. Neither can get on with the other, until a young couple fall in love and bring the warring communities together, with the help of Wilco Roger (Kenneth Connor) an intergalactic ambassador.
A basic premise, (and very basic budget), on which to hang various performances from such performers as Graham Bond and The Nashville Teens. Oh and a gonk was/is a weird stuffed toy popular at the time! Makes no sense, but then that's the fun of it.
