Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band WOOf! 1978 (PG)

“Ripoff” would be putting it kindly. A classic album by one of the greatest rock bands of all time deserves the respect of not having a starstudded extravaganza “filmization” made of it. Gratuitous, weird casting, bad acting give it a surreal feel. And the Bee Gees? Please. A nadir of '70s popu lar entertainment. ♫Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band; With a Little Help From My Friends; Fixing a Hole; Getting Better; Here Comes the Sun; I Want You (She's So Heavy); Good Morning, Good Morning; Nowhere Man; Polythene Pam. 113m/C VHS, DVD . Takaaki Yamashita, Maurice Gibb, Peter Frampton, Barry Gibb, Steve Martin, George Burns, Donald Pleasence; D: Michael A. Schultz.
