"I've only one thing to say to you Lennon, you're a swine!"
A standard bio-pic cash-in is enlivend by the presence of Paul McCartney's grandfather (Wilfred Brambell). He likes nothing better than mixing it and causing conflict. No more so than when his niggling makes Ringo reassess his life and run off just before a crucial TV appearance.
Re-wrote the standard for band related films, as instead of a formulaic cash-in, this tacked on some story, with pathos and comedy, and allowed the personalities to come through, luckily the Beatles had some!
