George Martin Movie Extra




George Martin's can-do spirit was certainly on display in 1978 when he produced the soundtrack for a movie that was essentially the answer to a drunken party question: "Hey man, d'you ever wonder what would happen if the Bee Gees ever recorded the Beatles music? Like maybe Sgt Pepper man? And somebody brought like a movie camera and Peter Frampton and Aerosmith and like the old guy from Oh God? And the old guy actually like SANG man?"

Really not as bad as all that if you just say what the hell and go with it. Under Martin's guidance the music is well produced, and nothing in this movie is as goofy or scattershot as the opening for the 1990 Oscars, which Allan Carr, the producer of the Sgt. Pepper's movie, also produced. Right?




Keep those cameras rolling...yikes!
