The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour



The Beatles first film since "Help" was largely Paul McCartney's project. The story follows a bus load of eccentric characters on a magic journey through the English countryside. Rather than a unified narrative, it becomes a series of psychedelic clips promoting various songs including "The Fool on the Hill," "Blue Jay Way," "Your Mother Should Know," "I Am the Walrus" and "Magical Mystery Tour." The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band are seen in a strip club playing "Death Cab for Cutie."

Magical Mystery Tour is an hour-long British television film starring The Beatles (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr) that originally aired on BBC1 on 26 December 1967. Upon its initial showing, the film was poorly received by critics and audiences.
