John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison all opposed the making of this film and wanted to be stopped and never to be released.
The Rickenbacker 330 guitars played by Stephen MacKenna as John Lennon are actually Japanese-made copies. The headstocks are longer than a real Rickenbacker and the pickups and tailpieces differ.
While released to theaters worldwide, it was seen primarily in the US as a TV movie.
Only film about The Beatles produced and released prior to the death of John Lennon.
The Quote "Welcome to Harlem' s fabulous Apollo theatre is a reference to the initial reception Buddy Holly and the Crickets received playing the iconic venue in 1957. Holly was the 1st white act to play the Apollo and received less than a warm welcome initially which is similar to the Caven Club scene in this film when "John" utters the line
"Paul McCartney: Hey, when you're rich and famous, what are you gonna be? George Harrison: A millionaire. Paul McCartney: And do what? George Harrison: Buy a bus for me dad! He's putting his foot down. Wants me working. John Lennon: Don't be thick! People die here... never knowing if they've ever lived. Well, you won't find me working 9 to 5."
"Brian Epstein: What do you mean, "Pete's Out"? And "Ringo's In"? I like Pete! He's very popular. Girls sleep out in his garden, it's good for the whole group! Paul McCartney: Pete's not a Beatle. John Lennon: He's too conventional. Anyway, Ringo's a professional. Brian Epstein: This doesn't make sense! I mean, you could have gotten rid of Pete after the trip to Hamburg! John Lennon: Pete hasn't grown like the rest of us. Brian Epstein: Don't upset the apple cart. Everything's finally going well. The record company heard his drumming. They liked it! John Lennon: You're not listening, Eppie. He's a drag. He don't spark. I'm sick of him just sitting there. Brian Epstein: You're sick of the girls liking him and saying, "Pete Best and the Beatles"? John Lennon: Maybe, Dr. Sigmund Eppie. Maybe. Brian Epstein: How are we going to tell him? John Lennon: We're not. You are. Brian Epstein: Me? You want me to tell him? John Lennon: Well, you're the manager."
