Stuart Sutcliffe: The Lost Beatle - 2005 - 6/10
Biography that focuses as much on what-if as well as on what-happened.
Interviews include Sutcliffe’s sister and an early college roommate - pre-Lennon.
Manager Allan Williams details Hamburg musical adventures, while Voormann and Kirchherr discuss Sutcliffe’s artistic endeavors.
Lennon both attacked and defended, while McCartney reaps the most ire.
Geoffrey Giuliano seems to be one of the sources for this doc - caveat emptor.
Nothing “new” here for knowledgeable Beatles’ fans, though seeing several of his abstract works in full screen will be a treat.
This is not dodgy material by any stretch, just listen with a wary ear.
