Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band film is strange. Not to mention cameos from Steve Martin, George Burns, Alice Cooper, Donald Pleasence, and – in one of the few musical highlights – Earth, Wind and Fire. Then a weathervane comes to life, belts out Get Back, and transforms Howerd into the pope. Not the album, of course, but the 1978 musical: a film based (literally) on Beatles songs, in which the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton fight with Aerosmith and rescue magical-powered instruments from the clutches of an evil Frankie Howerd. It's a premise that shouldn’t work and - according to most Beatles fans - really doesn’t.
