Ten Visions of the Fab Five

In 1970 when the Beatles broke up, a humble Brit named Harold Glaub begins to experience remarkable dreams. They will continue for ten years though he never recalls a one. A real bummer for each night our man becomes the fifth Beatle. John Lennon’s oldest mate, puckish bridge-builder Harry helps the group soar to more unique heights.

The loop is so strong poor Harold doesn’t notice it alter the course of his life. With longtime chums Don, Pat and Geoff the quartet of carpenters launches a parallel career. A history of the world’s biggest musical group (comic turns accommodate Harry’s presence) is braided to the smalltime growth of these artists and friends. Each turn the band makes the mates can’t but follow. Where both are left suggests hindsight deems what’s important in life. Any decent lesson goes down with an ample dose of humor, if you love The Beatles, Ten Visions of the Fab Five poses a whimsical if.
