The Beatles’ ‘Let It Be’ Film Will Be Available for the First Time in Over 50 Years

More than 50 years after it hit theaters, Michael Lindsay-Hogg's rare Beatles film 'Let It Be' is arriving to Disney+, restored by Peter Jackson.

Arriving on the streaming platform 54 years to the month that it hit theaters, Let It Be was directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg and restored by Peter Jackson — who recently combed through 60 hours of footage to create the now-classic docuseries Get Back.
