About the Film
LOVE ME DO includes rare footage and entertaining anecdotes about the Beatles told in part by Victor Spinetti, who collaborated with the 'Mop-Tops' on three films in the 1960's: A Hard Day's Night, Help! and Magical Mystery Tour.
From Wikipedia:
The best explanation for this long-running collaboration and friendship might have been provided by George Harrison, who said, 'You've got to be in all our films ... if you're not in them me Mum won't come and see them—because she fancies you.' But Harrison would also say, 'You've got a lovely karma, Vic.'
John Lennon and Victor Spinetti
