1970 brought a close to the Beatles saga, and one final film Let It Be.  Let It Be was intended to be a documentary of the "rebirth" of the Beatles, but turned out to document the band's "slow demise." The original idea for the movie was to film the Beatles rehearsing, and then performing a concert in front of an audience. What was committed to film were countless hours of seemingly aimless jam sessions, arguments, and a hurried concert on the roof of the Apple building in London. The film ends with the London police shutting the rooftop performance down, thus bringing to close the Beatles collective film careers.
