It reached #30 on the Billboard 200 album charts on 14 July 1984 and features the #1 dance single "Dance Hall Days" and includes the hit singles: "Don't Let Go", "Don't Be My Enemy" and "Wait".

The title Points on the Curve is apparently a reference to a chord in geometry. In this case, the chord is a musical chord.

    The Curve (film)

    The Curve is a 1998 thriller starring Matthew Lillard, Keri Russell and Michael Vartan.

    It is also known as Dead Man's Curve, but was changed to The Curve to avoid confusion with the film Dead Man on Campus, a comedy with a similar pass by catastrophe premise about two college roommates who try to get another to commit suicide.

    In the UK and Australia it was released as Dead Man's Curve.

    Plot

    The story follows Tim, Chris and Rand who are campus roommates. After hearing of a school policy, which says that anyone whose roommate commits suicide gets an automatic 4.0 GPA (see: Pass by catastrophe), Tim and Chris plot to kill Rand and make it look like suicide. After the suicide, Rand's girlfriend Natalie (the roommate of Chris' girlfriend Emma) is distraught and commits suicide as well. The story takes several plot twists as each person's motives come to light and the truth is revealed.

    The film was screened at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival.

    Soundtrack

    Writer and director Dan Rosen and score composer Shark music supervised the film (credited as Pajama Party Productions). Prior to the start of filming, they made a mix tape of music they were considering for the film. Each actor was given the tape as background to their characters. When editor Glen Garland was putting together the first edit of the film he used music from this mix tape as temp. Many of the songs ended up in the final film.

    Points on the Curve

    by: Wang Chung

    I got your letter
    I felt so scared to
    pick up the paper knife
    and read within
    I read the contents
    I got what you meant
    I know it's hard on you
    but don't give in
    Maybe, maybe
    slow things go fast
    Maybe, maybe
    it's all in the past
    (chorus)
    Oh oh if you need me don't let go
    (you know I'll never give up on you)
    Oh oh if you need me don't let go
    (you know I won't give up on you)
    Ooh, ooh ooh
    Ooh, ooh ooh
    You know I will never
    give up on you
    I phoned the station
    for information
    To try and get the
    times of trains to York
    And on the platform
    I saw your hatform
    a kind of halo in the crowd
    crush talk
    But baby baby
    don't run away
    Maybe, maybe
    it's just today
    (chorus)
    Don't let go
    (don't let go)
    No I will never
    give up on you
    I saw your sad face
    you dropped your suitcase
    And I appreciate
    the state you're in
    You mustn't worry
    You mustn't hurry
    I know it's hard on you
    but don't give in
    Maybe, maybe
    slow things go fast
    Maybe, maybe
    it's all in the past
    (chorus)
    Don't let go
    I will never give
    up on you
    I'll, I'll never give
    up on you
