‘Let It Be’ Director Michael Lindsay-Hogg on His Beatles Documentary Finally Shedding Its ‘Orphan’ Status: ‘You Don’t Always Get the Second Chance in Life’
As 'Let It Be' is unleashed after four decades in lock-up, Michael Lindsay-Hogg talks about what his 'rejected' film really reveals about the Beatles.
If you’re looking for depressing moments in “Let It Be,” there aren’t many overt ones; the famous tiff in which Paul McCartney tries to direct a frustrated George Harrison in his guitar playing is over in about 30 seconds. There’s one shot in the film where there’s like a piece of hair hanging off the microphone or something, and that’s something we probably wouldn’t have expected to see quite so clearly in the old prints of “Let It Be.” It is very interesting, because see, when I first met them to talk about it was after we’d done the “Hey Jude” video, which they had a crowd for, which then translated into the wish to do a concert, and, and Paul was the one who had the most definite view of what their near-future should be.
