George at the movies
« on: January 25, 2005, 11:16:34 AM »
As far as I know George only made 1 post Beatles movie appearance.
Anyone know what it was (I'm prepared to get shotdown here, but I'm bored)

He's in a crowd scene-you have to look for him - I think in the room after Brian does his naked-on-the balcony-thing. Blink and you'll miss him. (I think he was co-producer, so he blagged it)
