Before I leave the topic of ABC, I need to mention a short movie/extended music video which they released in 1983, a year after The Lexicon of Love.
The video, directed by Julien Temple, combined a thin story line with performances of the songs from the album.
All very glamorous (lots of shiny suits and drinking champagne) but pretty insubstantial. It has a score of 8.3/10 on IMDB which sounds pretty impressive until you hear that there are only 37 votes (all diehard fans like myself, no doubt).
The good news is that it’s all available to view on YouTube. Here is part 1:
And here are links to the other parts:
