Let It Be opened in Columbus in May 1970. It's a depressing movie. It was intended as a behind-the-scenes documentary of the four of them recording the Let It Be album, but what it really shows are the tensions that led to the group's breakup. I was 13 and a big Beatles fan, and my dad agreed to drive me up to Loews' Morse Road (about half an hour away from Grove City where I lived) to see it on Memorial Day which was a school holiday. Unfortunately, I was using the Sunday newspaper ad for the movie times, and on Monday, when we drove up, the theater was closed until the evening. My dad had a bit of a temper, but he was surprisingly mellow about the mix-up, and even drove me back up the next weekend to see it.
