All This and World War II

All This and World War II is a 1976 musical documentary that juxtaposes Beatles songs, performed by a number of musicians, with World War II newsreel footage and 20th Century Fox films from the 1940s. It lasted two weeks in cinemas and was quickly sent into storage.

20th Century Fox asked Susan Winslow to direct with a budget of 1.3 million. Winslow had previously participated as a researcher in the crew that produced Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? directed by Philippe Mora which married 1930s newsreel and mostly Warner Bros. movie footage to gramophone songs of the period.Although it was rumoured that Terry Gilliam turned down the offer to contribute animation to the documentary, Russ Regan, who conceived of the film, has stated that Gilliam was never asked. ........
