Toomorrow film (1970)
Somewhat of a curious project this one, involving aliens requiring the power of music! Nevertheless, Margaret turns in a sterling performance as alien agent 'Johnson'. One of two aliens sent to capture a band, Johnson adopts the form of a glamorous female to lure band member Vic Cooper or as Johnson refers to him, "VICCOOPER".
Interestingly, this film seems to act as more of a vehicle to showcase the singing talents of the then fledgling star, Olivia Newton-John. She went on to have a successful music career before hitting the big time in the film 'Grease'. The film itself was produced by the Rank Organisation, directed by screen legend Val Guest and Bond producer Harry Saltzman co-produced with Don Kirshner, all big names for such an oddball film!
With about twelve and a half thousand views on YouTube to date, this collection of Margaret clips (below) vamping it up as a seductive alien 'Johnson' seems to be very popular despite the relative obscurity of the film.
