Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), 5

PG | 1h 53min | Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy | 24 July 1978
Small town band hits it big, but they must battle a nefarious plot in the music industry.
Director: Michael Schultz
Stars: Peter Frampton, Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, Maurice Gibb.
Patricia Birch ... choreographer
Harry Naughton ... associate choreographer

Watched online, mediocre print, blurry.

27 songs in the Soundtracks, all Music and Lyrics by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, except Here Comes the Sun Written by George Harrison.

IMDb rating 4.0 with ~5.4k votes.

Beatles songs sung by non-Beatles, threaded together with some plot, which I gave up trying to follow, despite the efforts of George Burns as the onscreen narrator. So it became tedious. Maybe with a better print? Hardly seems worth the effort.
