If These Walls Could Sing (+ a Short, Ruthless)
Just when you think there couldn’t be anything more to say about the Beatles, along comes this fascinating documentary about the history of the Fab Four’s famous studio, Abbey Road, showing how it began recording classical music and morphed into a large studio where major popular albums were cut. Director Mary McCartney, Paul’s offspring, has one of the best Rolodexes in the business. The bold-face names she cor- rals to tell revealing anecdotes include Ringo Starr, Elton John, George Lucas, Burt Bacharach and, of course, her Dad.
UK 2022 (86 minutes)
