All This and World War II

Combining Beatles covers with World War II stock footage has to be one of the oddest ideas for a movie ever conceived. I should preface this by saying, this is not a good movie. The covers run the gamut from mediocre to pretty good, and the footage is awkwardly meshed together with it. Maybe it would have worked better as a 20-minute short, but not as a full 83-minute movie.

It's a curiosity for Beatles fans and film buffs, and has never been made officially available on VHS, LaserDisc, DVD, or Blu-Ray (probably due to the legal headaches of getting the rights to all of the songs and permission from the artists to use them all). In fact, outside of a theatrical engagement that lasted two weeks, the film has only been seen a handful of times on premium cable, and in super-rare midnight screenings.


All of the songs are written by John Lennon-Paul McCartney.
"Magical Mystery Tour" -- Ambrosia
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" -- Elton John (includes an uncredited John Lennon on lead guitar and backing vocals)
"Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight" -- The Bee Gees
"I Am The Walrus" -- Leo Sayer
"She's Leaving Home" -- Bryan Ferry
"Lovely Rita" -- Roy Wood
"When I'm Sixty-Four" -- Keith Moon
"Get Back" -- Rod Stewart
"Let It Be" -- Leo Sayer
"Yesterday" -- David Essex
"With a Little Help from My Friends/Nowhere Man" -- Jeff Lynne
"Because" -- Lynsey De Paul
"She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" -- The Bee Gees
"Michelle" -- Richard Cocciante
"We Can Work It Out" -- The Four Seasons
"The Fool On The Hill" -- Helen Reddy
"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" -- Frankie Laine
"Hey Jude" -- The Brothers Johnson
"Polythene Pam" -- Roy Wood
"Sun King" -- The Bee Gees
"Getting Better" -- Status Quo
"The Long and Winding Road" -- Leo Sayer
"Help!" -- Henry Gross
"Strawberry Fields Forever" -- Peter Gabriel
"A Day in the Life" -- Frankie Valli
"Come Together" -- Tina Turner
"You Never Give Me Your Money" -- Will Malone & Lou Reizner
"The End" -- The London Symphony Orchestra

NOTE: I had to remove a scene that had a one-minute clip from "The Desert Rats" in order to keep the video from being blocked, which is why this version runs shorter than it should.
