For the first time in more than 50 years, the documentary “Let it Be,” which was about The Beatles and published shortly after the band’s dissolution in 1970, was shown on screens again on Wednesday.
Director Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s film, which was filmed in January 1969, showed hints of the animosity and conflicts that eventually caused Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison to break up.
“George wasn’t getting many songs recorded because John and Paul were so prolifically brilliant,” Jonathan Clyde of the Beatles’ Apple Corps told AFP.
“John had met Yoko (Ono) and was making his own journey, Paul was doing what he wanted to do and Ringo had started shooting films,” he said.
The “Fab Four” are depicted in the movie going through recording sessions and rehearsals for the album “Let It Be”.
The final section is their 40-minute surprise concert on the roof of their Savile Row record company building in London.
It has been re-released onDisney+ after being restored from the original 16mm negative and having the sound remixed using the most recent de-mixing techniques.
