    THE SPOTS

    "We Know Your Name" (:30) shows people walking on a city street with typographical names above their heads ("Some Kid," "Some Other Guy," "Some Lady," etc.). However, once "Some Guy" walks into TD Canada Trust, his super title changes to "Mr. Martin." The voiceover intones, "At our bank, knowing what you need begins with knowing who you are. "Big Cheese" features people going on about their daily activities, as the supers above their heads read, "Top Dog," "Head Honcho" and "Numero Uno." The scene shifts to the interior of a bank where, as the voiceover states, "We have a lot of different ways to say ‘customer.’ " As the patron with the "Big Kahuna" caption over his head is exiting, the title is picked up by a woman entering the bank.

    Spots broke in October.

    “Beatles ’64” Documentary Captures Intimate Moments From Landmark U.S. Visit

    Thursday, November 28, 2024

    Likely most people have seen iconic footage of the Beatles performing on "The Ed Sullivan Show." But how many have seen Paul McCartney during that same U.S. trip feeding seagulls off his hotel balcony?

    That moment — as well as George Harrison and John Lennon goofing around by exchanging their jackets — are part of the Disney+ documentary "Beatles '64," an intimate look at the English band's first trip to America that uses rare and newly restored footage. It streams Friday.

    "It's so fun to be the fly on the wall in those really intimate moments," says Margaret Bodde, who produced alongside Martin Scorsese. "It's just this incredible gift of time and technology to be able to see it now with the decades of time stripped away so that you really feel like you're there."

    "Beatles '64" leans into footage of the 14-day trip filmed by documentarians Albert and David Maysles, who left behind 11 hours of the Fab Four goofing around in New York's Plaza hotel or traveling. It was restored by Park Road Post in New Zealand.

    "It's beautiful, although it's black and white and it's not widescreen," says director David Tedeschi. "It's like it was shot yesterday and it captures the youth of the four Beatles and the fans."

    The footage is augmented by interviews with the two surviving members of the band and people whose lives were impacted, including some of the women who as teens stood outside their hotel hoping to catch a glimpse of the Beatles.

    "It was like a crazy love," fan Vickie Brenna-Costa recalls in the documentary. "I can't really understand it now. But then, it was natural."

    The film shows the four heartthrobs flirting and dancing at the Peppermint Lounge disco, Harrison noodling with a Woody Guthrie riff on his guitar... Read More
