	Movies - Let It Be

Let It Be is the title of a 1970 documentary about The Beatles. The film records the making of the album Let It Be during January 1969.

Plot

The original premise of the film was to capture the Beatles "live" in the studio, creating their next album. However, the project was begun as the band began to drift apart, and so is recognized as a documentary on how to break up a band, more than how to produce an album. The final portion of the film is a live rooftop concert by the band (with Billy Preston), intercut with interviews of rather surprised Londoners walking past the Apple headquarters as the music begins to blast out from the roof, and closes with the police shutting the concert down. The rooftop concert has been a popular bootleg ever since.

Availability

The film has been out of circulation since being released on video on VHS and RCA SelectaVision Videodisc in the Early 80s. These copies were inferior in quality to the original theatrical release of the film in 1970, due to the rough conversion from 8mm and 16mm prints. In 2002 it was announced that the film was being prepared for release on DVD. However, due to legal issues, its reissue has been delayed for some years and no new date has yet been announced.
