For No One

Last week here, I mentioned the Broadway show, Beatlemania, in which four gentlemen did an altogether passable job of impersonating John, Paul, George and Ringo. Amazingly in out-of-town tryouts, the cast consisted of actors playing John, Paul, George and Pete Best, and it wasn't until they replaced Pete with Ringo that the show really took off.

That's not true.

What is true is that there was a movie made of Beatlemania which came out in 1981 to poor reviews and scant attention. As several folks have informed me, the whole thing — all 95 minutes of it — is up on YouTube. I am not suggesting you watch it; just telling you it's there.
