this ended up being more of a performance documentary, but i LOVED IT. i felt like it fully captured americas reaction to the fascination that is beatlemania.

my favorite little moment was ringo dancing in the club. buddy has moves!!

also when paul sat on his suitcase and george helped him zip it up.

magical little moments of some truly awesome history
