this musical comedy film was released in '75 and is this film is about BILLY BEETHOVAN a 70s glam band and the girls who follow them :)...SHOWADDYWADDY also played in the film.....as well as others please see page 9 for more info....
it's possible that this film is in the style of say 'SIDE by SIDE' , but that film was one of the very best of the 1970s, this being a comedy musical made in '74 tells you it has to have some good songs, however nothing compared with SIDE BY SIDE, see our gateway 3 for in depth reviews of that movie....except we have to say the 2 performances by glam band BILLY BEETHOVEN are essential for fans of the junkshop glam genre, they were led by GRAHAM BONNETT.....keep scrolling....

excert from PASCAL by BEN ROGERS, p. 51 - 52 -
That in fact is the main joy of being a king, because people are continually trying to divert him and procure him every kind of pleasure. A king is surrounded by people whose only thought is to divert him and stop him thinking about himself, because king though he is, he becomes unhappy as soon as he thinks about himself.
excert from 'LET FURY HAVE THE HOUR' ( about the CLASH )

BILLY BEETHOVEN
'DREAMS'
EXCELLENT glam # in the style of THE GLITTER BAND, MUD, and WIZZARD with superb vocal harmonies from the guys in the background, the band had glitter makeup on their faces and they really look the part....BONNETT has good stage presence as you'll soon see here ~

'DON'T DRINK THE WATER'
this one is very entertaining as well because it looks like the band are changing things in rock while on stage,COOL glam harmonies too, but they are dressed plain instead of glam style here, overall a strong performance from this band....
