This is a happy, upbeat film comments David Lambert, producer and director of Arthouse Pictures, who produced the movie. Probably the last time the Fab Four were all still getting along. Keith Badman (author and Beatles expert) said I have seen the rough cut screener and can t wait to see the finished programme. It is fantastic. This film is a must have for all Beatles fans worldwide and an opportunity to look back fondly at the heady days of the swinging 60s.
