Behind the scenes in words and photos,
By
This review is from: The "Beatles": Scenes from a Career (Paperback)
I think the title and synopsis miss out on what this book actually is, a behind the scenes account of the making
of all the films that the Beatles were involved in as a group or solo. Roy Carr 'narates' the book superbly, taking us along easily and informatively. Paul McCartney and Richard Lester contribute extensively and their comments are interlaced with the text throughout the book. It feels a bit like Roy Carr is telling the story with Paul and Richard in the same room as the reader making comments as he goes along. Very enjoyable. The photos are great, especially for me, all the different worldwide record covers and posters. I would have liked some more full page photos but there are as many as other books. Really enjoyable for new or old fans.

Interesting,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beatles at the Movies (Paperback)
I thought this was an interesting book. It helps greatly that the author got Paul McCartney's cooperation, and so there are a lot of quotes of Paul's that you won't find anywhere else. I thought I knew everything there was to know about the Beatles, but did not know, until this book, that there was talk of them making Joe Orton's play LOOT into a film. Of course, when the Beatles saw that the characters were gay, they said no. As Paul says, "We didn't have anything against it being a gay film, but we were four very butch guys, and it just didn't make sense. Mick Jagger's a bit more that way, so someone like him would be more suited to it." Incidentally, (as Paul said in his authorized biography MANY YEARS FROM NOW), Paul was one of the backers of LOOT when it was a play. LOOT was a hit in England, but flopped when it played on Broadway....A good book for any Beatles fan.

For The Beatles Completist Fan,
By Rob W. "Sounddude™" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beatles at the Movies (Paperback)
Every year, I get Beatles books, CDs and other gifts that revolve around the Beatles as Christmas gifts. My family knows to do this automatically and even though I do make out a list, sometimes they will find something I didn't list and surprise me with.
Beatles At The Movies by Roy Carr was one of those books. Now, Roy's book is of double interest to me in that my work revolves around working in the film and television production industry so any book that delves into that world is also of great attraction. In short, this book is now over ten years old and most or all of it's content is included in other newer, more fresh looks at The Beatles. But don't let that put you off. This is a GREAT book about The Beatles and their involvement in film. Carr is an award winning author and it shows. His writing is interesting, humorous and insightful. The book itself is 176 pages of photos of The Beatles, movie photo cards, stills from their films, and is lavishly illustrated on thick stock paper. There are over 200 photos included in the book, many full page size and 100 of which had not been seen until the original publishing date. Not only does Carr walk you through the films, but he chronicles the movies, their music and the albums the songs appear on, something that's been done before and since, but nice to have right there to help tie it all together with. So after all this time, is it worth adding this book to your Beatles collection? I would say definitely. It won't reveal any new information to you today if you've kept up with all the other books that are out there. But most of us haven't read the over 500 books that have been published on The Beatles so I'm sure many will pick up on things they didn't know before. And if for nothing else, it's a fine made book with lots of great photographs. Find it at a bargain price, and you'll be even more of a happy Beatles fan! |
