A young Olivia Newton-John starred in the odd 1970 sci-fi/rock flick Toomorrow. Olivia's band of the same name is the target of aliens who want to kidnap the band to play for them.

The film was masterminded by the evil Don Kirshner, who helped birth The Monkees and The Archies. Olivia Newton-John, Ben Thomas, Karl Chambers and Vic Cooper played respectively, um, band members Olivia, Ben, Karl, and Vic.

A soundtrack album was released on RCA Victor Records.

Trivia Time! The real drumming was done by Chris Slade, whose colorful drumming career includes Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual," Manfred Mann's Earth Band, The Firm, AC/DC, and Asia.
