Saturday Night Fever aside, film and the Bee Gees seemed incompatible, as evidenced by their 1970 TV movie Cucumber Castle - co-starring Pat Coombs as Nurse Bottom and Eleanor Bron as Lady Pee - and the disastrous 1978 film version of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Further proof arrives with 1984's Now Voyager.
You can see the logic behind the idea: after helming massively successful albums for Dionne Warwick, Barbra Streisand and Kenny Rogers, the eldest Gibb was in his imperial phase - so why not co-write and star in a "video album" about time travel? The logic of the plot is trickier to grasp, involving Sir Michael Hordern, Manchester's Victoria Bath and a deeply unconvincing spaceship. Nor does the music scale the heights: the image of a tracksuit-sporting Gibb attempting to meld rap, disco and 50s rock'n'roll on Fine Line may stay with you far longer than you want it to.
