By the mid-1960s, George Harrison had grown disgruntled with his role in The Beatles. He didn’t enjoy fame and felt that his bandmates’ ego-mania kept him from achieving his full potential. When the band broke up, though, he couldn’t escape his legacy. Harrison felt that The Beatles would always live on in the way that major historical figures did.
George Harrison said The Beatles were like two infamous historical figures
Years after The Beatles broke up, Harrison continued to field questions about when they would get back together. He didn’t think it was necessary. Their music would continue to live on despite the split.
“The Beatles can’t ever really split up, because as we said at the time we did split up, it doesn’t really make any difference,” he said in The Beatles Anthology. “The music is there, the films are all there. Whatever...

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.
Today we speak with the great Andrew Davis, director of The Fugitive (now available on 4K Uhd and Digital). We chat about his favorite days during the production of the iconic Harrison Ford thriller, some of his B-Sides and the trajectory of his career in general.
There’s his debut feature, the bluesy ensemble piece Stony Island. There’s the movie he got to make after his meteoric success: Steal Big Steal Little. And then there’s the Coast Guard action drama The Guardian from 2006, which Davis claims had better test screening scores than any movie in the history of Touchstone Pictures.

The Beatles often experimented with recording techniques to improve their sound. However, the band never perfected the new music technologies that were emerging then, leading to some sloppy versions of their songs. One Beatles song, in particular, got “destroyed” by the constant tampering of it, according to John Lennon.

“Revolution” was released in 1968 as the B-side to “Hey Jude.” While the song got Lennon’s political views out there, it wasn’t the version he liked. The track has been released multiple times with different variations. “Revolution 1” was recorded before the official release and is noticeably slower. Paul McCartney and George Harrison believed “Revolution 1” was too slow to be a single, so they released a faster version.
