Хотите посмотреть, как песни The Beatles исполняют совсем молоденькие Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Earth,Wind&Fire, Steve Martin, Paul Nicholas, Billy Preston и др., тогда Вам сюда! Это игровой фильм и даже есть какой то сюжет, но самое главное в нем, это песни Великой четверкии их исполнители. Фильм выпущен в 1978 году,так что он, конечно, не дотягивает до современного Across the Universe, но как исторический факт и попытка прикосновения к великому-тоже ничего. Приятного просмотра!
