Watched online, blurry and fs.
No songs in the Soundtracks, but they were listed individually in the credits.
A lot of the events mentioned in the film only come across as a "Time Square ticker" scroll, and even some of the footage was quick. I didn't watch this with full attention; didn't really want to go through that time again.
Some YouTube comments are about "Paul" being right-handed. But this was a filmed concert, not people lip syncing to playback. And he looked the most like his character.
Seemed like a good representation of the Fab Four, but 86+ IMDb voters averaged 5.3. Are they Beatles fans who have higher standards for such a performance? I'll admit that tribute band Rain sounded better in Birth of the Beatles ('79), but we didn't see them, and they only covered the band through their 1st Ed Sullivan appearance in '64. This group sampled the entire catalog.
