Title: Allan Williams' 'Many Years
Post by: Nada Surf on January 21, 2012, 06:48:53 PM
Have any of you ever watched this?
It's so low-budget it's hilarious...
But, from what I can tell, it's quite factual.

^^^^^

I just stumbled across Parts 1 (https://youtu.be/8_cXZENUw4I (https://youtu.be/8_cXZENUw4I)) and 2 (https://youtu.be/353oeBP5oG8 (https://youtu.be/353oeBP5oG8)) of this movie. It's actually titled "Allan Williams' All Those Years Ago," not "Many Years Ago."

Anyone here seen these? I started to watch but was immediately turned off by the re-creation of John's murder, which opens Part 1.

I'll go back and give them another try later today.

I also found this: https://youtu.be/-AvUenyMk88 (https://youtu.be/-AvUenyMk88), which I assume most here have already seen, but I'm going to have to flag that for later as well given that its 50 minutes.

Thoughts?

Nope never heard of that movie. I thought I knew all the Beatle origin films. There’s not that many.

I think I’ve seen the Alan Williams interviews a while ago.  He’s a funny guy.

I probably shouldn’t be too harsh. I note from the comments the film was made on a budget of around £3000. Which probably mainly went on renting the equipment.
