Welcome to These Incredible Times Saturday Matinee, one-week anniversary edition. To celebrate, a piece of film that couldn't be more timely - or timeless.
It's a clip from the 1978 film spectacular Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. This critically and commercially undervalued family romp combined the songs of the Fab Four with sparkling performances by the Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, George Burns (seen below) and countless other Jonestown-era stars. In this scene, you'll see an obvious, if primitive, prototype of the newly-released Beatles: Rock Band.
Still holds up, doesn't it?
I think we can agree that everyone involved in this film had at least a ten-bob note up their nose.
Enjoy your weekend.
