All Beatles things are good, period – it’s a body of work. “I’m glad any film exists of The Beatles, because it’s these wonderful, handsome young boys all being wonderful. “I’m glad it exists,” Paul McCartney tells Uncut. A guiding principle of the original ‘Get Back’ had been to reject sophistication and over-editing, and it was a relief to him The Beatles made no effort to cover their tracks, however uncomfortable it may occasionally have been for them. What they wanted out (“originally there was more John and Yoko interacting”), what the distributors wanted out (“they wanted more music, less talking – we had to cut out half an hour”) and what The Beatles were, to his relief, ultimately content to leave in (George and Paul in Twickenham, particularly).
Today, Lindsay-Hogg remembers the conversations he himself had with The Beatles at the time he was editing his own film.
