The Beatles’ Original “Let it Be” Film Coming to Disney Plus After Decades Out of Print

Share

Disney Plus will be streaming The Beatles’ final movie, “Let it Be,” soon.

Michael Lindsay Hogg made the 1969 movie his way. A couple of years ago, the Beatles thanks to Peter Jackson took all the footage and made a long miniseries showing everything Lindsay-Hogg left out. That was “Get Back,” which has proven a valuable exercise.

But the director wasn’t stupid, and his version — which had to be under two hours — was put together for a reason.

“Let it Be” had a run in theaters, and was never on DVD. If it was on VHS, it’s lone gone. But for a while it was possible to get it off the internet.

The Beatles are running out of things to remaster, but we’re happy they finished this up.

Check back for the first airdate.
