Cucumber Castle

Edit
According to notes on the video: 'By the time filming began in 1969, The Bee Gees were down to a trio consisting of Barry and Maurice Gibb and drummer Colin Petersen. Robin Gibb quit the group earlier in the year following the release of the group's fourth album "Odessa". Songs for the film were recorded during the summer of 1969 with Petersen on drums, but when filming began he was fired from the group. His scenes from the film were cut and he is not credited in the accompanying album, though he does play on some songs.

(under the heading "Home Media"): The title was briefly released in the U.S. in the early days of home video by the tiny label Video Tape Network, but quickly disappeared from sale, likely due to a licensing dispute. The tape was once cited by Video Review magazine as the rarest commercial release ever, and copies have fetched three figures on the collector's market. It has never since been officially released on home video in any form, though bootlegs have circulated for years.
Vincent Price filmed his cameo in one day. He wasn't originally part of the cast but when the director found out he was in London for a film shoot and his hotel was near to where this film was being made, Price was asked if he would like a small part in this film, which he accepted. A role was hurriedly written for him and he turned up for filming the next day.
Shown in the UK on BBC Television on Boxing Day (December 26th) 1970 and has not been seen since and was never released on home video there either. Was briefly available on home video in the US in the early 1980s and then deleted and never been made available since then.
Independently made for the BBC by the Bee Gee's then record label, RSO (Robert Stigwood Organization) as a tie-in for their upcoming album of the same name (released in April 1970).
The footage of Blind Faith playing live in Hyde Park was directed by an uncredited Mike Mansfield in June 1969, the year before production on the rest of the film commenced.
