Martin Scorsese and David Tedeschi team up for the new documentary “Beatles ’64,” which explores the legendary Beatles’ first visit to the United States on February 7, 1964. The documentary offers a unique look at one of the most historic moments of the band, with archival footage that has never been shown before, including clips captured by famed documentarians Albert and David Maysles.
The footage has been digitally restored to 4K by Park Road Post in New Zealand. Their live performances at the DC Coliseum in Washington, and their famous appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, which captivated over 73 million viewers, have also had their audio remastered by WingNut Films and music producer Giles Martin.
Directed by Tedeschi, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr reflect on the behind-the-scenes moments the band experienced, and they also serve as co-producers. Joining Scorsese in production are Sean Lennon (son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono), Olivia Harrison, Margaret Bodde, Jonathan Clyde, Jeff Jones, and Michele Birnbaum.
According to Deadline, “Beatles ’64” will stream exclusively on Disney+ starting November 29.
