Video teaser for new Beatles in Australia doc: "The Beatles Drove Us Wild"


More about the film via the Australian:

According to Tyner’s film, the arrival of the Beatles, creating these unprecedented scenes of mass hysteria wherever they appeared, brought a new — and unsettling for conservative authority figures — loss of control of public ­spaces as their children found a voice for the first time.

While the Beatles’ career has been documented in every detail, the story of their 13 days Down Under is less well known and Tyner does it imaginatively with some superb footage, never seen before. The band played 20 shows — in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, two each night and none on Sundays. To judge from this film, the Beatles were not so much exhausted by their performances but by the after-hours shenanigans.
