THE COMPLEAT BEATLES (1982). A Cliff Notes version of The Beatles history at two hours-but honestly, it could be triple that and still barely scratch the surface- that still brings up the important moments, has some great footage (The Royal Command Performance, parts of "Yesterday" and "If I Needed Someone" live) and while the usual shrieking mobs are shown, there is also one-on-one interviews with some of the fans, the girl with the Oil painting standing out. Good narration by Malcolm McDowell and many interviews also with People who were there, with George Martin standing out.
A Good start if You want to know more. Sadly, Paul McCartney bought the rights to this so it wouldn't compete with the upcoming ANTHOLOGY, which I feel is kind of a Bitch move by Paulie, so TCB is hard to find. ****
