By far, my favorite Preston Sturges film, and while I'm at it, one of my favorite films, period. That statement may seem odd after I say that after seeing this for the first time, I felt that the movie went off the rails about halfway through. And to this day, I STILL have some misgivings about some of the plot developments, but that serves as a testament to how much I love the rest of it. Allow me to explain…
I think we can assume anyone watching Get Back is already a fan. If you're not and still insist on checking it out, this probably won't change your opinion. But I love it. It's long, mostly uneventful in traditional , and fascinating.
I could see myself putting this on a loop of constant enjoyment, because by the time you get to the end, you've forgotten the beginning. Plus, I'm fascinated by music recording and all the gear. And watching some of the best pop songwriters do their thing in real time is pretty hard to beat.
