Beatles songs, performed by a number of musicians, withWorld War II newsreel footage and20th Century Fox films from the 1940s. It lasted a week inmovie theaters and was quickly sent into storage, although it did play a midnight show at Landmark's Nuart Theatre in Los Angeles in June 2007.After
Terry Gilliam turned down the offer to direct this documentary,20th Century Fox turned toSusan Winslow . She had previously participated as a researcher in the crew that produced "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" (directed byPhilippe Mora ) which married 30s newsreel and mostlyWarner Bros. movie footage to gramophone songs of the period.The movie was made only six years after the Beatles had split up.
The film has never been released on home video or DVD, but copies of the film are available from several collector-to-collector resources.
