This
legendary musical pop documentary was originally made up from
three short films: Mods And Rockers, U.K. Swings Again and Swinging
U.K. In the video for general release the 'Mods And Rockers' segment,
which contained footage of the running battles between the two
cults set to Beatles music performed by The Cheynes, was cut because
of the violent content. The other segments contain performances
from The Cockneys, The Wackers, The Migil Five, Brian Poole and
The Tremeloes, Millie Small, The Tornadoes, The Merseybeats, The
Four Pennies, The Animals, The Hollies, Lulu and The Luvvers,

A Martian teenager called Gogo is sent to
Earth on a mission to pave the way for an invasion. He meets a
rich widow who runs a fashion boutique and falls in love with
her nephew's girlfriend, Connie. The nephew, Big Lunk, only cares
for volleyball and gets into trouble with a motorcycle gang for
'messing up' their beach. Also, Aunt Wendy ( the rich widow )
has a neighbour whose gang plan to rob her. Confusing and interwoven
but it all comes good in the end and, yes, you're right, it's
a 'beach movie' in everything except no Frankie, and Don Weis
directs.
