[I]t's a charming sideways look at a woman who had a backstage pass to the greatest pop phenomenon of the century. -- Grade: B

Rating: B -- Just when you thought there couldn't be any more documentaries about the Beatles, here is one about a woman who has kept a low profile. There are no big revelations in this film, just a different perspective on the band. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- While the tales of the band's spectacular rise create a genial mood, the film feels superficial. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Brian Epstein needed someone to run the nascent Official Beatles Fan Club. Freda, just 17, got the job. Full Review

Although this music documentary has some historic value, it aims to entertain -- and succeeds, largely because its subject is a natural on camera. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Not everyone will view it as an informational feast, but Beatle fans will eat it up like jam butties.

Product Description:

This documentary explores the life of Freda Kelly, a run-of-the-mill Liverpudlian teen who happened to be hired to be a secretary for The Beatles just before they rose to international fame, becoming arguably the most influential rock band of all time. She continued to work for them during their entire existence, and this film finds her sharing some amazing stories about her personal interactions with John, Paul, George, and Ringo, and the madness that surrounded them during the 1960s.
