Director Michael Lindsay-Hogg had a long-standing collaboration with The Beatles. In 1966, he directed the promotional films for “Paperback Writer” and “Rain,” followed two years later by the clips for “Revolution” and “Hey Jude.” In January 1969, he was brought in to direct a television special that would show Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr rehearsing ahead of a live performance. However, the project soon shifted direction: the television special was abandoned, and the footage was ultimately shaped into the feature film “Let It Be,” released in 1970.
Seven years later, Paul McCartney worked again with Lindsay-Hogg, who directed the music videos for Wings’ songs “Mull of Kintyre,” “London Town,” and “With a Little Luck.”
