The Beatles' 1970 film 'Let It Be' to stream on Disney+ after decades out of circulation

The Beatles' 1970 film 'Let It Be' to stream on Disney+ after decades out ...
Quick Glance: The Beatles Documentary 'Let It Be' Restored by Peter Jackson Coming to Disney+ Soon
  • The film 'Let It Be,' which captured The Beatles' final group performance and remained hidden for five decades, is set to make a comeback on Disney+ with an elaborate restoration by Peter Jackson. The revamped version is scheduled to premiere on the streaming platform on May 8.

  • Peter Jackson's award-winning 2021 docuseries 'The Beatles: Get Back' included footage originally intended for 'Let It Be.' The success of the series prompted Apple Corps to commission Jackson's Park Road Post Production for a meticulous restoration of the film from the original 16mm negative. This process also involved enhancing the sound quality using technology similar to what Jackson utilized in the 'Get Back' series.

  • The film features a wealth of footage from the studio session in January 1969, during which John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr - accompanied by keyboardist Billy Preston - crafted the 'Let It Be' album, recorded music, and performed atop Apple's London headquarters.

  • Initially, the critically acclaimed album, winner of multiple Grammys, faced delays due to internal band tensions. However, Lennon enlisted producer Phil Spector to help finalize it as preparations for the film's theatrical release were underway.

Women's NCAA championship garners more viewers than men's final
Quick Glance: Women's NCAA Title Game Shines with Record Viewership
  • South Carolina’s victory of 87-75 over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the women’s NCAA championship game marks a historic moment. For the first time, the women's game surpassed the men's title game, achieving the second-highest viewership for a non-Olympic women's sporting event on U.S. television.

  • The viewership for the Sunday afternoon game, which awarded the Gamecocks their fourth national title and denied Clark's Hawkeyes their first, peaked at 24.1 million during the final 15 minutes. Nielsen's figures include an estimate of individuals watching outside their homes, a metric not previously accounted for before 2020.

  • The audience for the national title game increased by 90% compared to the previous year when Clark and Iowa faced off against LSU. Moreover, this was the inaugural occurrence since 1995 of the championship being broadcast on network television.

  • During the Final Four, Clark emphasized the positive impact of audience growth on all women's sports, not solely basketball. Fox broadcasted 14 women's games this season, including three in prime time, NBC featured two, and CBS televised the Big Ten tournament championship. ABC presented five regular-season games and nine during the NCAA Tournament.

Quick Glance: What ‘Quiet on Set’ Fails to Address Is Equally Damning
  • The docuseries leans towards sensationalism and neglects the system's biggest failures.

  • Focusing mainly on superproducer Dan Schneider and acting coach Brian Peck, it fails to delve into the systemic issues at hand.

  • Direct, intimate accounts from former child actors and their parents offer distressing insights into the harmful effects of child stardom.

  • The series gets lost in repetitive imagery and subtle hints, rather than critically analyzing the underlying systemic failures of the Hollywood machine.
