Fab Four flick offers a taste of revolution
It's easy to be skeptical about the idea of a movie-musical based on the music of The Beatles. After all, we've been there before with 1978's "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," the Robert Stigwood-produced travesty that took the most twee aspects of The Beatles' oeuvre, cast The Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, lathered everything in pastels, and stank to high heaven (barring Aerosmith's ...
