Let It Be (DVD) 20 May 1970



5 Star Rating ***

Let It Be is basically a documentary of The Beatles making music in the studio and literally falling apart in the process. The film captures the problems the band were facing at the time and it proved to be their swansong. It is quite dull to watch, but there is a major payoff in the form of the famous rooftop gig!
