stickmaker_Give My Regards to Broad Street_ is not a great movie. It's disjointed, low on plot and overall makes little sense.
However, if you view it as a framework for music, music videos and giving sneak peeks into how both are made, it works quite well.
I'm especially fond of the "Ballroom Dancing" sequence. Normally, recorded music is played while the video part is shot, then used as the sound track with effects and dialog dubbed as necessary. However, Sir Paul did everything live. While the band played on the stage, he directed, sang and acted. I don't know how many takes were required, but the result is marvelous.
