Fun Stuff
Trivia:Another James Bond connection is the song, "This Boy" (a.k.a. "Ringo's Theme"), an instrumental version of which was used in the film to accompany Ringo's solo scene. The guitarist was Vic Flick, who previously played on "The James Bond Theme" from Dr. No (1962).See more »Goofs:Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the boys play "She Loves You" at their TV concert, Paul's Grandfather pops up on stage and George pulls him off. In doing this George takes his hands away from his guitar but the lead guitar riff continues as if he is still playing it.See more »Quotes:John:You should have gone west to America. You would have been a senior citizen of Boston. But you took a wrong turn, and what happened? You're a lonely old man from Liverpool.
Grandfather:But I'm clean.
John:Are you?

you can't beat the Beatles, 9 June 2005
Author: Lee Eisenberg (eisenberg.lee@gmail.com) from Portland, Oregon, USA
Classic cinema verite has the Fab Four going hither and thither, accompanied by Paul's "very clean" grandfather John (Wilfrid Brambell). Naturally, it wouldn't be a Beatles movie without their music. And the music always fits the scene (unlike so many musicals). My favorite scene was on the train where John, Paul, George and Ringo meet a middle-aged man, and...well, let's just say that it did a really funny job showing the generation gap. In short, you can always count on the Beatles to do something great, as every one of their songs showed. They may have had a "hard" time making this movie, but they would have to agree that it was worth it; people could easily spend "days" and "nights" watching it.
