The Family Way

that dish of like sausages and potatoes and peas I think with no gravy or anything at all is that he complains about so vividly in the film is quite a classic part of this particular episode I think

wasn't food at the time a bit of a trope in the movies was it the family way what's the movie where is it Hayley Mills gets told to eat that sardine and it's left on a plate for days until it disappears and the brother steals it

Which movie is that?

I think it might be The Family Way.

I'm not sure.

There's a movie where, because everybody's broke after the war, there's a movie where a girl is made to eat a sardine.

It was like, John Lennon was in How I Won the War and explored his expanding spiritual self.

Paul did The Family Way.

George went to India.

And Ringo formed a company called Bricky Builders.

they?

And doing all these different things.

So to that fact, I had to finally watch The Family Way.

I'd never seen it before.

And he'd already scored three films before he ever really started doing much with the Beatles.

And then from there, he did Hard Day's Night and a whole project with Paul McCartney in 1966, a whole film score called The Family Way.

point out a quote in the book that George says, I'm glad it didn't work out for film scoring for me.

He says, looking back on it, he called it a golden treadmill.

after Wonderwall? The Wonderwalls, Wonderwall is 868 and Wonderwall is, I'm saying this from memory, Wonderwall is the first Beatles solo release because I think it's before Two Virgins just by a couple of weeks.

and obviously we don't count The Family Way for obvious reasons.

In 69 we've got this cluster of John and George releases as when the Beatles are still a functioning

band.
