Slade in flame
In 1973, at the height of their powers, Noddy Holder, Dave 'Superyob' Hill & Co portrayed the band Flame in a thinly-fictionalised version of their own route to the top, battling with sleazy managers and a shoot-out on the real-life offshore home of the pirate Radio London. There's an enjoyable kitchen-sink feel to the whole thing - the Black Country looks more like the 1950s than 1970s (guys in drape jackets, girls with bouffants) - and great cameos from character actors. Not your average Rocksploitation movie.

- "An account of the rise and ultimate disillusionment of a typical teenage rave band. The seediness of the behind-the-scenes machinations runs through the story, perpetrated by a third-rate Midlands agent and by the suave director of a London management and investment company. A gritty, realistic look at the wildly mythologized band life of the late '60's."@en
