DVD:Best OF The Beatles

The Beatles Birth Story Pete's Dvd Birth of the Beatles DVD 1979 Birth of the Beatles DVD 1979 (Region 1 - Playable in North America - The US, Canada, Mexico, etc.) Remastered Extended European Version. Color. Starring: Stephen MacKenna, Rod Culbertson, John Altman. When young British musicians John Lennon (Stephen Mackenna) and Paul McCartney (Rod Culbertson) form a rock 'n' roll group, it morphs into the Beatles, with George Harrison (John Altman), Stu Sutcliffe (David Wilkinson) and Pete Best (Ryan Michael) rounding out the ensemble. Eager to play gigs, the band takes up residency in Hamburg and begins to hone its sound. Various events lead to a shake-up in personnel, and soon new recruit Ringo Starr (Ray Ashcroft) cements the lineup of the Fab Four. This is the rare remastered extended European version. The film started out with The Beatles about to take off to America…and then flashed back to 1961 and followed them until their Ed Sullivan appearance. It was made by Dick Clark Productions. There is a Pete Best slant to the film…with good reason. They used Pete as an advisor and you can tell. Many things slant his way. For a fan like me, some things bother me about it…like The Beatles in Hamburg playing “Don’t Bother Me” which wasn’t written until at least 2 years later They mixed some facts around and left some out but with the length of the movie, they could not include everything. When making a movie about someone, events will get exaggerated and some things made up. The movie I would make would be around 10 hours long and heavily detailed…in other words unwatchable by the general public. I did like the spirit of this film and the actor playing John Lennon (Stephen MacKenna) I thought did a good job. Overall it was a good try for the time and the film did do the early Beatle highlights… Stuart Sutcliffe, Astrid Kirchherr, Hamburg, Brian Epstein, Cynthia telling John she was pregnant, Paul and Pete lighting the Cinema (though heavily exaggerated), the comedy of the Beatles, George Martin, Rory Storm, Aunt Mimi and more. The group “Rain” did the soundtrack and that is maybe the highlight of the film It was the only movie about the Beatles made when John was still alive. John, Paul, George, and Ringo…the real ones…tried to get the movie stopped but were obviously unsuccessful. The film was released to theatres in Europe but on television in America. There are wince moments throughout the film…when in 1961 Hamburg, you see a little of seventies clothing and hairstyles plus some rushed acting. It’s full of flaws but they were on a budget and they tried to highlight the big moments. It’s a fun watch anyway even though they did get some of the story wrong. These are the songs that were performed in the movie.
