To make the film, the Beatles loaded 39 friends and bit actors into a yellow bus and drove through the English countryside for three weeks, improvising dialogue and filming whatever struck their fancy. The result, often played to a soundtrack of their latest songs, was a disjointed series of daydreams, nightmares, cloudscapes, reveries and slapstick skits ending with the foursome prancing down a spiral staircase in white tie and tails...
