Yellow Submarine
New English Library, London, 1968
They wrote some truly godawful songs, and 'Yellow Submarine' is one of the very worst, which didn't augur well for the animated feature it inspired. The drawing, however, retains a certain period charm, and since this photo-novel is basically about the artwork, it's okay. Just for the record, the credits tell us that it was 'Written by Lee Minoff & Al Brodax, Jack Mendelsohn & Erich Segal, from an original story by Lee Minoff, based upon the song by John Lennon & Paul McCartney'. Seldom have so many created so little for such huge profits. ENTERTAINMENT VALUE: 2/5 HIPNESS QUOTIENT: 2/5 movies home |
