MERSEY BOYS – SCREENPLAY BASED ON THE LIVES OF THE BEATLES
In this screenplay based on the lives of the Beatles, the famous British 60’s pop group, a young American College Professor, Al Moran moves to Liverpool to lecture at the local art college. There he encounters the student John Lennon and the two soon become friends. As John’s music and his band become more popular, Al becomes a firm supporter of the band and lends his influence to their music.
