Together, they were the probably the greatest pop music writing team of all time. Once their days as the founding members of The Fab Four were over, though, ex-Beatles John Lennon and Paul McCartney struggled to find their solo musical voices. Combining a bit of archival interview footage from the musicians themselves and a lot of pontificating from rock music critics, this case this DVD tries to make about Lennon and McCartney consciously competing against each other is weak at best, but that’s OK. The trials and tribulations, successes and failures that they each go through in the seven years covered by the film stand on their own. The film is also a great reminder of how much good music — and musical history — Lennon and McCartney made once The Beatles broke up.
