All this started with the “Hey Jude” video I directed for the Beatles, in August of 1968. “All this” meaning my film Let It Be, Peter Jackson’s Get Back, and more than 50 years of questioning and puzzlement: What ever happened to Let It Be?

Paul McCartney and I first worked together in 1966, when I directed the videos for “Paperback Writer” and “Rain” with the Beatles. He and I met in London a few days before we were to shoot the “Hey Jude” video.
