Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
burnsc1 I saw this movie on BBC2 in 1976(?).I was 5 years old at the time and it has stuck in my mind ever since.If anyone out there has a copy I would dearly love to have it in my collection.I will,of course,pay for any conversion,copying and shipping costs.This has been a lifelong quest of mine ,I would dearly love to scratch this one off my "someday Ill find it" list.Until I found this site I thought the war footage was set to actual Beatles recordings.Never realized they were cover versions by different artists.This makes it even more interesting.Is the soundtrack available anywhere?Anyway,my memory may be a little clouded but I would recommend this film to anyone with even a vague interest in either music,history or movies.It is well worth seeing.If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Varlaam I saw this oddity once upon a time at one of Toronto's oddest little theatres, The Screening Room, which no longer exists. The room is still there, over the Kingsway Cinema, but it doesn't operate as a theatre anymore.This would have been in 1979 or 1980, and they were showing a double bill of blasphemous Beatles films, this one and the Bee Gees' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (1978). We knew the Bee Gees would be an embarrassment, but we had greater hopes for this film. (And the Bee Gees were free if you bought a ticket for the other one, as I recall.)It was certainly a relief to learn that the Allies won World War II but otherwise... The combination of sacrosanct Beatles tunes and wartime stock footage didn't sound like such a good idea, and when you actually saw it, it turned out to be even more ridiculous than you would have guessed. The only image I still recall 20 years on is one of the "famous" ones, "Get Back" being sung over German tank footage run in reverse. As the philosopher said, "It's a fine line between clever and stupid."But it was better than the Bee Gees!
dougie-6 I haven't seen this film for ages,the musical score was fantastic.Especially in synchronicity with the old war footage. "Roll up for Mystery Tour " This magical mystery tour will really take you away !
larry-61 This is an excellent movie of its type. Extremely under-rated and panned by all the critics when released in 1976. I would love to see this movie given a general release on Video Tape and Videodisc.
