END OF PART ONE - INTERMISSION | Help! (1965) dir. Richard Lester

“It was widely believed that Lennon’s relationship with McCartney was at its lowest point at this time, but Van Scyoc {Gary Van Scyoc, bassist on Some time in NYC, 1972} saw ample evidence that this simply wasn’t the case. “You would read in the New York Post that they were at each other’s throats. I had a copy of the paper in my kit bag, and as I walk into the session, John is on the phone with Paul in Scotland for an hour-and-a-half and they’re yakking it up. That doesn’t really sound like two people who are at each others throats, does it?”
