The Beatles Story – Days of Beatlemania, 1962-1970 [VHS] Overviews

Despite its unauthorized status, this hourlong documentary offers a comprehensive survey of the Beatles’ career, from the escalation of Beatlemania to the band’s disintegration in 1970. It’s a suitable primer for neophytes, not as illuminating as the epic-length Beatles Anthology (how could it be?), but offering material that can’t be found elsewhere, including interview clips with associates from the Beatles’ early days (such as Mersey Beat editor Bill Harry and former Cavern Club owner Ray McFall). A few myths are corrected, and familiar archival footage covers all the Beatle basics, from the “bigger than Jesus” backlash to speculation, disregarded here as erroneous, that Yoko Ono broke up the Beatles. Due to licensing restrictions, music is supplied by the “Bootleg Beatles,” a look-alike nostalgia group seen in a closing segment as a pale echo of the Fab Four, playing to the kind of younger audience that this video is intended for. –Jeff Shannon
