I like the movie, mostly because of one sequence. _Ballroom Dancing_ was shot to the music actually being played in the sequence. Not to prerecorded music. What you hear during the set is the sounds which actually occurred during the filming.
People kept telling Paul McCartney that couldn't work. Not only would it be a pain to record the music during the filming, but there were also elaborate dance routines and stunts. I don't know how many takes were needed, but the result is marvelous.
