| Running Time: 81 minutes Director: Michael Lindsay-Hogg Starring: The Beatles, Yoko Ono, Billy Preston, Mal Evans Availability: Currently Unavailable (Out of Print) Film Summary 1970 brought a close to the Beatles saga, and one final film Let It Be. Let It Be was intended to be a documentary of the "rebirth" of the Beatles, but turned out to document the band's "slow demise. " The original idea for the movie was to film the Beatles rehearsing, and then performing a concert in front of an audience. What was committed to film were countless hours of seemingly aimless jam sessions, arguments, and a hurried concert on the roof of the Apple building in London. The film ends with the London police shutting the rooftop performance down, thus bringing to close the Beatles collective film careers.
The British soundrack recording for Let It Be was issued on May 8, 1970 on the Parlophone label. The U.S. version of the Let It Be soundtrack album was released on May 18, 1970 by Capitol Records. The track listing for both albums is as follows: Side 1: Two Of Us, Dig A Pony, Across The Universe, I Me Mine, Dig It, Let It Be, Maggie May Side 2: I've Got A Feeling, One After 909, The Long And Winding Road, For You Blue, Get Back
