Tonite Let's All Make Love in London
September. 26,1967
Peter Whitehead’s disjointed Swinging London documentary, subtitled “A Pop Concerto,” comprises a number of different “movements,” each depicting a different theme underscored by music: A early version of Pink Floyd’s “Interstellar Overdrive” plays behind some arty nightclub scenes, while Chris Farlowe’s rendition of the Rolling Stones’ “Out of Time” accompanies a young woman’s description of London nightlife and the vacuousness of her own existence. In another segment, the Marquess of Kensington (Robert Wace) croons the nostalgic “Changing of the Guard” to shots of Buckingham Palace’s changing of the guard, and recording act Vashti are seen at work in the studio. Sandwiched between are clips of Mick Jagger (discussing revolution), Andrew Loog Oldham (discussing his future) – and Julie Christie, Michael Caine, Lee Marvin, and novelist Edna O’Brien (each discussing sex). The best part is footage of the riot that interrupted the Stones’ 1966 Royal Albert Hall concert.

Thanks for the memories!
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This film is a great reflection of London and the British scene in the 1960's, dated for 1967, with authentic film footage of Pink Floyd with brilliant Syd Barrett heading them. Some people say it is boring, but should not leave reviews if they feel so strongly to negate a film which requires patience and culture, perhaps a more enlightened perspective. It features cameos by Lee Marvin parading about, as well as Eric Burdon, another legend. The reason why some do not understand it is because it is'nt filled with gimmickery or special effecst or some ellaborate script that fits into some conventional genre. But it is an experimental film, a time-capsule with rare raw footage that Floyd fans or any British scene enthusiast would love. I personally was thrilled and would reccomend the film to anyone with interest or the I.Q. to comprehend the film's inherent idea. If you are looking for some passionate drama or an Arnold S. gore-fest, go elsewhere. Dig this film!
If you in no way enjoy Pink Floyd music, then do not buy/rent/steal this video. You will not like it.However, if you really like Pink Floyd and really get into their early stuff, this video is a real find. Peter Whithead directed this as a dedication to Syd Barrett and to capture the mood of swinging London. It includes the greatest version of 'Interstellar Overdrive' ever recorded. And a song called 'Nick's Boggie' which is a very hard to find Pink Floyd track. See this film for no other reason than to hear the music and enjoy the scenery.If you like the film, another good video to get is the Pink Floyd London '66-'67 video. It is 30 minutes long and was used as a Promotional trailer for 'Tonite, Let's all Make Love in London'. The film 'More' is also an interesting film with a soundtrack by Pink Floyd, that features their earlier work.
I agree. This film is total and utter rubbish. But so were the times in which it was shot. Sex had only been invented in 1963 (pace P Larkin) and by 1967, London was revelling in this new discovery. However, this piece of unmitigated nonsense has one valuable asset: if any of the younger generation wonder where Mike Myers got the concept for Austin Powers then this is the lodestone. True, Myers drew inspiration from some truly dreadful TV series of the 60s but this film will give junior cineasts great help in understanding the lingo and the background to Mr Powers. Watch it once by all means for the sake of reference. And then as Monster 17 says, get help!
This is basically a short film focusing on Pink Floyd. It was shot at the UFO club in London if I am not mistaken. There is some footage of John Lennon being introduced to Yoko Ono so this is very important to Beatle fans as well. The rest is Pink Floyd in the studio recording the films soundtrack, "Interstellar Overdrive". This is a 16 minute version of the song and a wonderful little look in to the early career of Pink Floyd and their brilliant founder,Syd Barrett. This is the most common footage of Syd because it has been released to the public,a great place to start for anyone interested in "The Madcap".
