Wissenswertes
Graham Gouldman who is credited for the saccharine "The World is for the Young" and a number of other songs in this film, was the composer of several hits for Herman's Hermits including "Listen People" and "No Milk Today". He also wrote hits for the Yardbirds ("For Your Love" and "Heart Full of Soul") and The Hollies ("Bus Stop and "Look Through Any Window"). He eventually helped found the band 10cc, which had a number of chart-topping hits including "I'm Not In Love".

Patzer
At the beginning of the film set in Manchester the boys get together at a greyhound track but it is Catford Stadium which of course was a few hundred miles away in London.

Better than expected

I was ten years old when the British Invasion reached the shores of North America in 1964, and I was fourteen when the Hippie Revolution took-off in 1967-68. I think this Herman's Hermit movie was a bridge between the two time periods. It reminded me of how the Monkees attempted to jump from the mod to the flower power era during the second season of their TV series.

I was crazy about the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Gerry & the Pacemakers and the Dave Clark Five, but I always looked down at Herman & his pals as an overly cutesy girl band. My sisters, Pat & Barb, loved them. However, I found myself rather enjoying this film for many reasons. One thing that stands out is that it is moodier than one would expect from Peter No one. I also enjoyed the scenes with the lads trying to earn money as construction workers. Most of all I liked seeing the Hermits (without Peter) getting down with some semi-hard tunes in a London night club). It seems to me that the Hermits toured my native Wisconsin in 1977 as an instrumental group.

After all of these years I have come to have more of an appreciation for Herman's Hermits and their calmer, happier brand of British Invasion music. This movie could very well be the swan song of a cooler time before we got caught up in Viet Nam, Norhern Ireland, campus demonstrations, drugs, race riots and the rest.

I wonder if any our British counterparts out there have any idea where I could get a copy of Gerry and the Pacemakers movie, FERRY ACROSS THE MERSEY? Thanks, mate
