Stuart Sutcliffe: The Lost Beatle (DVD, 2006)

Loved the bio about Stuart Sutcliffe, one of the original Beatles. Loved the personnel interviewed like Tony Sheridan and Stuart Sutcliffe's girlfriend, Astrid. Loved viewing the different clubs The Beatles performed in Germany. Recommend purchasing a copy.

I bought this DVD because it is a collectors item. Stuart Sutcliffe was a very important member of The Beatles and contributed much artistically to the group before he decided that he preferred art to music. The Beatles loss was a major plus to the world of art, but his untimely death posed the question what would he have achieved had he lived? it is a question that will always remain unanswered, nobody knows. The DVD is also of historical interest and you cannot help being moved by the story of his life, particularly when his fiance was interviewed. I think this is an excellent DVD and a valuable addition to all lovers of Beatles memorabilia.

If you are a Beatles fan and wish to know more about the group in the early stages of development, you will certainly enjoy veiwing this DVD. The story focuses on Stuart Sutcliff and how he was a member of the original line up.

You will certainly love to see the interviews with his sister Pauline, and have the opportunity to see a number of fasinating still photos of her brother with the other band members when they showcased their act in Germany. Also, you will enjoy the chance to see some of Stuarts' very interesting and arresting modern art work and have an understanding of why he became so conflicted about staying with the group or focusing on his art studies!

Although he loved playing with the group, he needed to concentrate on his art work for he felt that by attaining a degree in fine art, that he would have the chance to make a decent living in an artist manner.

In addition to this, it is wonderful to see interviews with Astrid who was his romantic companion and here how appreciated he was by her Mother!

As it is stated, Mrs Kircher had provided Stuart with a place to reside that was more comfortable and better suited so that he could continue to work on his paintings when he decided to stop playing music! Also, there are interviews with others such as Klaus Vortman who became another good friend of the band and has a number of interesting things to say about their act in Germany.

I am delighted to have purchased this DVD and I think that you would be amazed, surprised, and informed about some of the perils and the conquests that the early Beatles incurred in the very early years of their formation!

You will truly enjoy owning this and it would make a wonderful reason to have a party with all of your other "Beatle" loving friends!
