I saw this movie on BBC2 in 1976(?).I was 5 years old at the time and it has stuck in my mind ever since.If anyone out there has a copy I would dearly love to have it in my collection.I will,of course,pay for any conversion,copying and shipping costs.This has been a lifelong quest of mine ,I would dearly love to scratch this one off my "someday Ill find it" list.Until I found this site I thought the war footage was set to actual Beatles recordings.Never realized they were cover versions by different artists.This makes it even more interesting.Is the soundtrack available anywhere?Anyway,my memory may be a little clouded but I would recommend this film to anyone with even a vague interest in either music,history or movies.It is well worth seeing.If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
I would love to see this movie again. I saw it at the CINERAMA Dome in Hollywood, CA, 1976. The vinyl LP was a double album and had lots of cool stills and lyrics. I still remember the footage of the youngsters riding out to the english countryside in trains with gas masks on. What will it take to get this film printed again?
I remember when this movie came out, and begging my parents to drive me to the theatre to see it. I willl admit, you have to be a fan of the Beatles and into WW2 history to really get into this movie. I am not lying when I tell you that I'm staring at the album soundtrack right now on my shelf in front of me. I could never figure out why they have never released this movie out on video, being that so many 'stinkers' are thrown on the shelves every year. I will admit, when I went to see it (over 20 years ago), there were few people in the audience at the theatre. But the way that the music is in sync with the film footage was really great, but I'm relying on a twenty year old plus memory of the film.
All This and World War Two is essential Lennon and McCartney as recorded by other artists. Some interpretations and productions are next to brilliant. All this (and World War Two) is played on a backdrop of amazingly choreographed historical and artistic footage of the War in question. When can we see and hear this on disc in our own homes?
This documentary was released in 1976 and I was never able to watch it because the film flopped at the box office and never made it to my small hometown. To my surprise, I accidentally found it streaming on YouTube. It's never been released on any media VHS, laser disc, or DVD. I had almost given up entirely on finding it. If historical documentaries, old 1940s WWII movies, & Beatles songs are your thing, please give it a look. Thank goodness for YouTube. And of course, this won't be everyone's cup of tea. I always watch historical WWII footage, hoping to get a glimpse of my late father in action. I was so excited to see some scenes of the American military and their jeeps with their girls' names painted on them, hoping to glimpse my dad's Jeep with my mother's name. Sadly, I did not. But our family has a wonderful photo to cherish.
