Movie/Music Review: *^ Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band

This is the Bee Gees singing Beatles music.  The music comes from two Beatles albums--Abbey Road and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.  It seems like just about anybody in music at the time had some kind of a cameo in this movie.  The best part of the film is Strawberry Fields (Sandy Farina).  Her songs are crisp and well done.  She is the girl friend of Billy Shears, played by Peter Frampton. 
As for a plot, it is bad.  So bad they have George Burns as the narrator trying to explain what is going on.  When things fall apart in the end, the weather vane fixes everything, and everybody has a big sing along.  The sing along has all kinds of musical groups, including Seals and Croft.  Good music, but would have been better as a concert, forgetting any idea of a plot.
