On to Christopher Münch's short fictionalised account of John Lennon and Brian Epstein's 1963 Spanish holiday, which explores their relationship and themes like miscommunication, and the power dynamic between the admirer and the admired. This was Ian Hart's first go at playing John, and we discuss how he and his co-star David Angus perform, the significance of the pair watching Ingmar Bergman's The Silence in the film, and the merits of taking narrative licence with a real event to explore something wider. Oh, and there's some innuendo, obviously.If you're in the UK you can pick up The Hours and Times on DVD, which we recommend, because the commentary track with Hart and Angus is very interesting.In the US you can rent it on Apple TV, Amazon and YouTube: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the-hours-and-timesWatch the trailer for The Hours and Times: https://youtu.be/5_dgKHVIHeoWatch The Silence, the 1963 Ingmar Bergman film which John and Brian watch in the movie (though they couldn't have in real life, because it wasn't released yet): https://youtu.be/-RSXUuCIlXAMeet the Beatles Films PodcastThe Beatles Films Podcast is hosted by Matt Looker and Ed Williamson.
