Give My Regards to Broad Street

The Film

Starring McCartney, his wife Linda, Ringo Starr and his wife Barbara Bach, as well as Bryan Brown and Tracey Ullman, the film details a day in the life of McCartney (somewhat like The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night). The master tapes to McCartney's new album are suspected of being stolen by an employee with a shady past (who has also disappeared), and amid much searching (and music), the tapes are found in the possession of the man in question, who accidentally locks himself in shed in a train station. Both are discovered - of course - by McCartney. After a sensational media build-up, the film - with its less-than-exciting plot - was savaged by critics upon its November unveiling and Give My Regards to Broad Street ended up as one of 1984's most notable cinematic flops. Today, the film isn't considered nearly as bad as it was portrayed in the press and stands as a nice, pleasant movie.
