45 YEARS AGO!!! THE BEATLES’ ‘LET IT BE’ MOVIE PREMIERES IN NEW YORK CITY
It was 45 years ago today (May 13th, 1970), that the Beatles’ final movie, Let It Be, received its U.S. premiere, in New York City theaters. The film, which was shot in January 1969, was originally intended to be a TV special called Get Back featuring the group rehearsing for their first live show in over two years. The early rehearsals captured the group, along with John Lennon’s soon-to-be wife Yoko Ono, clearly bored, with only Paul McCartney showing any real enthusiasm for the new material. The first part of the film shows the strain of the early morning sessions held in a cavernous soundstage at London’s Twickenham film studios.
