Storyline

A documentary showing both how The Beatles made music together, and how they split up. Hundreds of hours of raw footage was condensed into the final product. The rooftop performance ending the film remains a rock-n-roll archetype. Written by Ed Chen <echen@bcm.tmc.edu>

Trivia

Paul McCartney hated Spector's changes to his songs from the movie, and tried to have "The Long and Winding Road" replaced with an earlier version before release. John Lennon disliked the original performances, and was satisfied with Spector's touch-ups: "When I heard it, I didn't puke." See more »

Goofs

Audio/visual unsynchronized: At one point rehearsing "I've Got A Feeling", John is heard singing (and bantering) with Paul, but his mouth isn't moving on camera. See more »

Quotes

George Harrison: [to Paul] Yeah, okay, well, I don't mind. I'll play, you know, whatever you want me to play. Or I won't play at all if you don't want me to play, you know. Whatever it is that'll please you, I'll do it.
