What did John Lennon and the Beatles' homosexual manager Brian Epstein really get up to on those four days of R&R in Barcelona in the spring of 1963? Smoked a lot of cigarettes, played a spot of cards, went to Bergman's The Silence, strolled in the park, visited a gay bar, shared the tub, some kisses, the bed. This black-and-white shoestringer carries the disclaimer that it is "entirely fictitious," but it would be entirely uninteresting as fiction: dead-air dialogues between an uncharismatic mophead and a bilious bon vivant. Having a vested interest -- sexual or musical -- would seem to be essential. Ian Hart, David Angus; directed by Christopher Munch. (1992) — Duncan Shepherd
