John and Paul

The Beatles rehearsing, Scala Theatre, April 1964
David Hurn: “They were more at home playing their instruments than acting. They didn’t like miming so actually played live for the film. Paul and John seemed to understand one another totally. There was no rivalry, just a genuine love and respect. It was great fun to watch them onstage playing. Yet despite their obvious talents they were very humble. They’d point to other musicians saying how much more able they were. Their musical limitations spurred them on.”
