	Movies - Imagine

A 1973-released movie by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, filmed mostly at their Tittenhurst Park home in Ascot, England, during 1971, and intended for television. All the songs from Lennon's Imagine album of the same name appear in the soundtrack, and also the songs "Mrs. Lennon" and "Don't Count The Waves", from Ono's album Fly.

The program consists mostly of videos (then called "promos") around the song selection, interspersed with occasional slices of Lennon and Ono's life together, and also fantasy and "gag" sequences. In one of these, a succession of men (ranging from Lennon and Ono's assistants to celebrities including Fred Astaire, Jack Palance, Dick Cavett, and even George Harrison) escort Ono over and over through a doorway; in another, John and Yoko lose each other on the Tittenhurst grounds, and go looking.

The director of photography was Daniel Richter, who was personal photographer for Lennon and Ono in the early 1970s. He earlier gained recognition playing the character Moonwatcher (an ape-man) in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey
.

The opening video, of the title song "Imagine", was used years later in a worldwide simultaneous broadcast, to commemorate Lennon's life and music, on what would have been his 50th birthday (October 9, 1990).
