Disney+’s new documentary Beatles ’64 offers a fresh, intimate look at the Beatles’ legendary first U.S. tour in 1964. Featuring rare, newly restored footage by Albert and David Maysles, the film showcases behind-the-scenes moments—like Paul McCartney feeding seagulls and John Lennon swapping jackets with George Harrison—alongside electrifying performances.
Produced by Martin Scorsese and Margaret Bodde, the documentary blends archival clips with modern interviews, including insights from surviving band members and star-struck fans. The film also explores how Beatlemania helped heal a grieving America post-JFK’s assassination.
Arriving alongside a vinyl box set of the Beatles’ 1964-65 U.S. albums, Beatles ’64 streams Friday on Disney+.
