ザ・ビートルズのドキュメンタリー、それもリバプールの名も無きティーンエージャーが世界を席巻するスーパースターへと駆け上がっていった初期の姿にフォーカスする、興味深いドキュメンタリーをお届け。
ザ・ビートルズのメンバーが登場するのはもちろん、その前身バンドのクオーリーメンのメンバーや1962年にリンゴが加入する前のドラマーだったピート・ベスト、マネジメントの関係者、早くからザ・ビートルズを紹介した新聞「マージービート」のオーナー、若き日のジョンのルームメイトやジョンの最初の妻シンシアまでが登場。彼らの証言によって、学生バンドから始まり、デビュー前にライブを重ねたハンブルク時代、キャヴァーン・クラブでの日々などが明らかにされる。後にロック、ポップ・ミュージックを高いレベルにまで押し上げたビートルズの、いわば序章ともいえる若き日を知る貴重な番組となることだろう。
