Give My Regards To Broad Street

I never seen this movie by Sir Paul until tonight (Dec 2010). When it came out in 1984 it had the most Horrible reviews and was considered a complete Bomb.For years I been wanting to see this movie and stumbled onto the DVD last week (I didnt even know it had been released on DVD).It's funny how critics will marvel at the Beatles "Hard days Night" and "Help" movies yet dish this one. I found this movie to be extremely enjoyable and loved every minute of it.To See Ringo in the supporting role and a cameo by Sir George Martin in thsi movie certainly gave it a Beatle like atmosphere to it.(Linda McCartney was very much in the film as well).You are FLOODED with so many GREAT production numbers, those alone are worth the purchase price. Paul and Ringo perform Ball Room Dancing, So Bad, a Beatles medley, other musical numbers are: No More Lonely Nights, Silly Love Songs, Eleanor Rigby(with a brand new written extended Orchestra number to it written by Paul).There is a flimsy story line of the film where a employee of Paul's comes up missing and was to deliver the master tapes of a brand new album, if they cannot locate the tapes for delivery to the Factory, then a loan-shark gets control of the company and will bankrupt Paul. It's enjoyable to follow along and keeps the flim going forward. There are many "dream" scenes that I really enjoyed. Time has aged this Movie EXTREMELY well! It's sad that George Harrison didn't have a cameo in it, seeing it was just 3 years or so after John's death, it would have really cemented this film as a true classic. I think this movie should be aired once a year like the "Wizard of Oz" or any classical movie. Kids will love this light-hearted film and the songs are just great!This style of movie just isn't made any more. It's made in the classic style of Musical's, a lost art form for sure.I 100% loved this movie and could sit back down and watch it again (I prob will in a few days, if not just for some of the songs).This DVD doesn't have 5.1 sound, but it does have 4.0 surround sound and comes through very well in my 5.1 system, The mixes on the songs are great, great fidelity and separation of instruments.Buy this and you will enjoy this McCartney-Ringo classic!

Give My Regards to Broad Street has been in the glove box of every car that I have driven since 1984 on cassette. The DVD will probably remain near the TV for easy and often playback for at least the next 21 years also.I became a Beatle fan in 1964, and I was glad that Paul went back into `his'catalogue to remake some of his timeless classics: "Yesterday", "Here, There Everywhere", "The Long and Winding Road" (and others) on this collection .My daughter is now 15, and a full fledged fan of McCartney . The family was lucky to see Paul display that he still has the energy and love for what he does, as he ran down a play list of about 34 great songs, at Madison Square Garden on 9/30/05. I was then thrilled to find this DVD available online to continue that (Paul) show at home.The plot is a variation of `24' as we see Paul go through a day in his life going from appointment to appointment - all linked by studio performancesFilmed up close and personal with Paul and his band. It is a Neat Time Capsule of Timeless Music that will continue to be discovered and re-discovered as time goes by.The extended version of Eleanor Rigby with Paul, Linda, Ringo, Barbara (Bach) and others has a look of Dickens England as Paul daydreams with the soundtrack sounding very classical and sophisticated with layers of strings complimenting Paul's acoustic 6 string.For No One is a treat as we see Pail, finger-pick the notes of this sad song that has became one of my favorites over the years. I had a tear in my eye hearing it live a few weeks ago.After seeing Paul live, this DVD helps fill the void of `missing Paul' as he left the stage that magical night in New York City.

It is for my husband and it was okay. Thank you so much,

It is an enormous shame that Siskel and Ebert were unable to understand the plot of this film. It was simply too intelligent and gentle for them to grasp. But anyone who is literate should be able to understand the contrast between the hero's workaday life and the melodramatic horrors he imagines when the master tape for a new album goes missing. The plot is about resisting the temptation to condemn your friend on circumstantial evidence, and the determination to trust your own judgment. It is about believing the best of people rather than the worst, and about the human capacity to overcome the terrors that the imagination throws at you, and insist that reason and fairness prevail. It is a very coherent plot used to structure a series of beautifully staged musical interludes. Besides being full McCartney-Martin music, it has much to say to a culture drunk on speed, violence, and sloppy judgment. It is not really a small film at all, but a sort of musician-as-auteur cinematic essay that deserves to be listened to in several senses of that word. Visually beautiful, intellectually satisfying, musically a recurring joy.

Great DVD of a silly sort of movie. I saw the original screening of this flick, way back in the mid-eighties. It was lighthearted and sort of whimsical back then. Probably a lot more sillier, now that I’m much older. Still, I love the music as I’ve always been more of a Paul McCartney and Wings fan than say a Beatles fan, although I love both. I just purchased this DVD to feel good and that’s what the music on this soundtrack does. It makes me feel good.

Imperdible para todo fan de McCartney, veras grandes y unicas interpretaciones de varios temas de McCartney y los Beatles.Aprovecha, esta pelicula nunca se ha editado en Bluray, asi que el DVD es lo mejor que tenemos.Yo solia tenerla en VHS, asi que ahora el disco compacto es una gran mejora, la veo cada vez que puedo.

il faut bien sur aimée le travail de Paul se nais pas un film a oscar mais la musique est bien reproduis et les images sublime le son est trais bon et bien sur Ringo a ne pas oublier pour collectionneur et aussi au amateur des Beatles.........Normand de st-therese ,Québec , canada....

Cercavo questo film musicale, l'ho trovato solo in lingua originale e con DVD regione 1. Per poterlo visionare necessita di lettore dvd universale oppure di copia con programma apposito da cercare su internet (considerato pirateria, ma se comprate il dvd originale non direi). La trama è fragilina, ma non è quello che conta in un film del genere. Tante scene con Sir Paul all'opera!

J'avais la VHS de ce produit que j'avais vu au cinéma en 1984, fan de Macca j'ai donc acheté la VHS et là, avec le DVD quelle mauvaise surprise: aucun lecteur ne le lit et pour cause c'est un format anglais!Quelle déception!!! Donc à la remise mais je le garde! J'aurais dû être + attentif lors de la commande! Existe-t-il en format "frenchy"? Merci

Den film wollte ich unbedingt wieder anschauen, ging aber leider nur auf mein PC. DVD, Bluray, PS 4 , hat nirgends funkioniert, es erkennt die DVD nicht an !!! Schade, denn die Qualität ist echt nicht schlecht, aber was bringt es, wenn man es nicht über den fernseher anschauen kann.
