A made for British TV film, "Magical Mystery Tour" was what John Lennon called, "the most expensive home movie ever made." The film is about Ringo and his Aunt Jessie taking a "mystery" bus trip. On the trip, they are joined by Paul, John and George and a cast of unusual characters. Done with no script, and basically the brainchild of Paul McCartney, the film lacks aim and structure, not to mention plot, etc. However, it IS the Beatles, and, as McCartney has noted, where else can you see them perform "I Am the Walrus"? The music, needless to say, is fantastic. Unfortunately, except for performances like Victor Spinetti's sergeant major, the laughs are sparse. Although, once again, you do get to see the Beatles for an hour, so how bad can it be???
