Filmography
1976 - All This and World War II
In this installment of Rock 'N Roll Case Study we talk about ALL THIS AND WORLD WAR II, which is perhaps one of the most bizarre movies in rock 'n roll. The 1976 film by 20th Century Fox is the strangest mix of cinema and rock 'n roll, combining World War II images (newsreels and Hollywood films made at that time) with the music of the Beatles (not the Beatles original recordings, but by various artists).
The original intention of the filmmakers was to use actual Beatles music in the film. The decision to use other artists covering Beatles music was made by the film's producers after they realized additional money could be made through a soundtrack album. The decision was a sound one, as the soundtrack actually generated more revenue than the film.
