...musical advantage, but when called upon to act, react or recite a line, they generally perform like stumbling automatons. The Beatles-thanks to the brilliance of Director Richard Lester-managed to escape.

A narrator intrudes from time to time to read selections from a mythical political-pornographic novel (" 'You're my kind of girl, Pepita,' said Pope...
