I like the last quote 

It was fiction but it was very well done.

Its one of my favorite music movies ever. Alot of musicians and people i've talked to over the years also enjoyed it, and good portion of them werent Beatle freaks.

just freaks huh?????

This was the second time Ian Hart had portrayed John Lennon on screen - he also starred in a black and white film about John's trip to Spain with Brian Epstein (can't for the life of me remember the title though!). That film, although based on some actual events, was mostly fiction too.

The movie was 'The Hours And Times'. Not one of my favorites.

I Got "The hours and time" movie not one of my favorites either it was in a 125 Beatles video collection i bought. The "scrub me back Epi" scene in one of things that make you want to blow guts.

I never knew anything about it on dvd and mines is the vhs, but you could do a search on ebay or do a yahoo search. I'm sure someone has a copy. Just dont pay alot for it, its b&w and a little over an hour long. Also depending on how you think of John, This film can be unsettling. Good luck in your search

I never saw it but for anyone who's interested........
You can get HOURS AND TIMES at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obi...../102-7086084-0358500

or at http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid=1996386&domain_id=1877&meta_id=3

If you're interested in seeing a dramatized version of John's supposed homosexual relationship with Brian Epstein, then buy this movie! Otherwise steer WELL clear - it contains full-frontal footage of "John" having his back washed in the bath by "Brian"! Made me cringe!

How did the people who made HOURS AND TIMES get this information about Brian giving John a bath and so on?
It's got to be total fiction, right?
