New York 1976: Paul pays John an uninvited visit...
While Paul McCartney is in New York to play a series of sold-out concerts with Wings, the city is buzzing with speculation of a Beatles' reunion. But even promoters' offers of outlandish sums of money cannot penetrate John Lennon's self-imposed isolation from the world.
So six silent years after the Beatles' acrimonious split, Paul arrives unexpectedly at John's apartment. Initially distant and hostile, John is wary of his old friend. But gradually, as their bittersweet day of hurt, anger and humor unfolds, they confront the differences and get back to where they once belonged - two friends from Liverpool.
It is then, in the spirit of renewed togetherness, that they impulsively prepare to give New York the musical shock of all time...
An intimate portrayal of two of the most influential figures in music history through a fictional event that has become almost a legend in its own right.
------------------------------
Directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg(Let It Be), the film aired in February 2000 on VH1. I am a huge Beatles fan and never heard of this film until I saw it at the video store. It's sweet, humorous, and insightful. And while Aidan Quinn(Paul) is a little too old for the cuteness of Paul in '76 and Jared Harris(John) the shorter of the two, they do pretty well in capturing the mannerisms, accents, expressions, and body language of the two.
If you're not a Beatles fan, I don't recommend it as it's simply the two of them through the day. If you are, I highly recommend it.
