Contents.Plot The situation is that of a group of people on a British mystery tour in a 1967 coach, focusing mostly on Richard Starkey and his recently widowed Aunt Jessie. Other group members on the bus include the tour director, Jolly Jimmy Johnson ; the tour hostess, Miss Wendy Winters (Miranda Forbes, credited as Mandy Weet); the conductor, Buster Bloodvessel ; and the other Beatles (, and ).During the course of the tour, 'strange things begin to happen' at the whim of 'four or five magicians', four of whom are played by the Beatles themselves and the fifth by the band's long-time road manager.During the journey, Starkey and his Aunt Jessie argue continually.
Aunt Jessie begins to have daydreams of falling in love with Buster Bloodvessel, who displays increasingly eccentric and disturbing behaviour. The tour involves several strange activities, such as an impromptu race in which each of the passengers employs a different mode of transportation (some run, a few jump into cars, a group of people pedal a long bike, while Starkey ends up beating them all with the bus). In one scene, the tour group walk through what appears to be a British Army recruitment office and are greeted by the army drill sergeant.
(McCartney appears briefly as 'Major McCartney', on whose desk rests a sign reading 'I you WAS'.) The sergeant, shouting incomprehensibly, appears to instruct the assembled onlookers on how to attack a stuffed cow.The tour group also crawl into a tiny tent in a field, inside which is a projection theatre. A scene in a restaurant shows a waiter, named Pirandello (played by Lennon), repeatedly shovelling onto the table in front of Aunt Jessie, while arriving guests step out from a lift and walk across the dining tables.
The film continues with the tour's male passengers watching a strip show (Jan Carson of the ). The film ends with the Beatles dressed in white, highlighting a glamorous old-style dance crowd scene, accompanied by the song '.The film is interspersed with musical interludes, which include the Beatles performing ' wearing animal masks, Harrison singing ' while waiting on Blue Jay Way Road, and the performing and ' ' sung by Stanshall.Initial idea The movie was an attempt to combine the free-wheeling fun of 's 1964 cross-country American bus tour aboard ' with the, and the then-popular trips from to see the. In, Lennon states that 'if stage shows were to be out, we wanted something to replace them. Television was the obvious answer.' Most of the band members have said that the initial idea was McCartney’s, although he stated, 'I’m not sure whose idea Magical Mystery Tour was. It could have been mine, but I’m not sure whether I want to take the blame for it! We were all agreed on it – but a lot of the material at that time could have been my idea.'
Prior to the movie, McCartney had been creating home movies and this was a source of inspiration for Magical Mystery Tour. Production. Pictured while filming a sequence for 'The film was unscripted and shooting proceeded on the basis of a mostly handwritten collection of ideas, sketches and situations, which McCartney called the 'Scrupt'. Magical Mystery Tour was ultimately the shortest of all Beatles films, although almost ten hours of footage was shot over a two-week period. The core of the film was shot between 11 September and 25 September 1967.The next eleven weeks were mostly spent on editing the film from ten hours to 52 minutes. Replica bus of the same type and livery used in the film.The mystery tour itself was shot throughout the of England, including and, although most of the footage was not used in the finished film.
The striptease sequence was shot at 's in London's district, and the sequence for ' was shot (in a somewhat clandestine manner) around, in the south of France.For the psychedelic visual sequence during the song ', some of the flying footage from 's 1964 film was re-used. As told by editor Roy Benson in the Radio Documentary 'Celluloid Beatles', the film lacked footage to cover the sequence for the song '. Benson had access to the aerial footage filmed for the Dr. Strangelove B52 sequences, which was stored at. The use of the footage prompted Kubrick to call Benson to complain.The coach used in the film, a -bodied Bedford VAL, carried the registration number URO 913E. The vehicle was new to coach company Fox of in 1967.
The acquired the coach in 1988, and the vehicle is now completely. In the race, Starr himself drives the bus around the airfield racetrack. During the filming, an ever greater number of cars followed the colourful, hand-lettered bus hoping to see what its passengers were up to, until a running traffic jam developed. The spectacle ended after Lennon angrily tore the lettering off the sides of the bus.Script The script of Magical Mystery Tour was largely improvised. The Beatles gathered together a group of people for the cast and camera crew, and told them to 'be on the coach on Monday morning'. The film was made up along the way.
Starr recalled: 'Paul had a great piece of paper – just a blank piece of white paper with a circle on it. The plan was: 'We start here, and we’ve got to do something here ' We filled it in as we went along.' Lennon recalled in a later interview, 'We knew most of the scenes we wanted to include, but we bent our ideas to fit the people concerned, once we got to know our cast. If somebody wanted to do something we hadn’t planned, they went ahead. If it worked, we kept it in.' At one point, Lennon had a dream in which he was a waiter piling spaghetti on a woman’s plate, so the sequence was filmed and included in the movie.
Some of the older actors, such as Nat Jackley, were not familiar with productions and were disappointed by the lack of one. Reception British critical and public reaction to the film was scathing; it was dismissed at the time as dull and self-indulgent, and was regarded as The Beatles' first artistic failure in their home market. It initially aired on 26 December 1967 in the United Kingdom as a made-for-television film on., the band's producer, explained: 'When it came out originally on British television, it was a colour film but shown in black and white, because they didn’t have colour on BBC1 in those days. So it looked awful and was a disaster.' The film had a repeated showing, this time broadcast in colour, on only a few days later, but there were only about 200,000 colour TV receivers in the entire UK at the time., the band's official biographer, said that 'It was the first time in memory that any artist felt obliged to make a public apology for his work.' McCartney later spoke to the press, saying: 'We don't say it was a good film.
It was our first attempt. If we goofed, then we goofed. It was a challenge and it didn't come off. We'll know better next time.'
He also said, 'I mean, you couldn't call the Queen's speech a gas, either, could you?' Writing in 1981, said that the film was symptomatic of the transformation of 'pop' into 'rock', the latter being concerned with art and self-expression over mass entertainment. He described Magical Mystery Tour as 'a willfully inexplicable TV special which put most of the audience to sleep' and added: 'The Beatles were no longer in control of their time. Whereas they had once been able to seize on any idea and 'Beatlefy' it, make it common currency, they were now running vainly after a trend that was determined to leave the common audience behind.' McCartney later changed his view of the production, saying: 'Looking back on it, I thought it was all right. I think we were quite pleased with it.'
He also noted in The Beatles Anthology DVD that the film features the band's only video performance of 'I Am the Walrus'.In a 1993 interview George Harrison said the negative response from the press was 'understandable too because it wasn’t a brilliant scripted thing that was executed well. It was like a little home movie, really. An elaborate home movie.'
