Fans of the 'fab four' carry a lot of weight, and they consider covers of the music to be nothing less than blasphemy.

Fans of the Beatles consider their music to be untouchable-very few artists have tried to do covers of Beatles songs, and the few who have met with hostility. Once, I said all of this to an acquaintance in person, and his response was: 'Why would I want to hear Beatles songs if the Beatles aren't doing them?' Herein lies the film's problem, I think. It is fun watching people like Steve Martin, Frankie Howerd, and Donald Pleasence hamming it up, and George Burns is always enjoyable. It certainly is no classic, but if you are willing to relax and meet it halfway, you might find yourself having a good time. I had a good time with the film when I was young, and in later years, it still held up for me. Thirty years later, there are no less than 13 pages (so far) of blistering denunciations of this movie here at IMDb. This was considered one of the biggest cinematic disasters of its era-a film that virtually destroyed the careers of the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, and recording mogul Robert Stigwood (a giant at the time) likewise disappeared from view.
