TV review - "Magical Mystery Tour" (1967) **1/2

The Beatles copped a lot of criticism for this TV movie and it is pretty dire, incredibly self indulgent and unfunny. But because it's the Beatles it remains fascinating to watch - and the music is incredible. It's about a bus trip by a group of character actors and the Beatles and they have a series of weird encounters.

Really the best way to see the film is a series of video clips with some loose narrative around it. It's a mess made by some very talented people.
