For the Made In Heaven: The Films project, Too Much Love Will Kill You was assigned to Simon Pummell. His short film "Heart-Ache", discussed below, became Brian May's favourite of all the films produced for the project.
However, when it came to promoting the single release of the song in 1996, the Torpedo Twins were called upon once again to create a collage of Queen clips from the archives, and it is this promo which features on Greatest Flix III.
Heart-Ache
Simon Pummell also directed "Heart-Ache", the short film which used Too Much Love Will Kill You as its inspiration. The film portrays a young couple who are on the verge of breaking up, watched intently by an old lady. The male leaves and decides to demonstrate his affection for his love by getting a "true love" tattoo on his arm. He returns to her and she finally understands just how much she means to him. As they dance together they turn into the watchful old lady and her partner, who go to sit down... as they do so, the man fades away, and the mournful woman is left alone to remember her lost love.
