THE BEATLES Up Periscope Yellow: The Making Of The Beatles Yellow
Submarine (2003 edition 270-page softback book - Al Brodax was the
producer of and [with Erich Segal and others] a co-author of the
screenplay for The Beatles 'Yellow Submarine'. In this book he recalls
a frenzied, madcap escapade that came to be reflected in an enduring
piece of screen history. In addition to John, Ringo, Paul and George,
and Al, the 'cast' included more than a dozen animators, platoons of
inkers, background artists, soundmen, cameramen, and various
essential expediters. Recruited from the U.S., Europe, Australia and all
over the U.K., they produced, aside from the film, more than a dozen
pregnancies and one or two marriages. This story has been culled by
the author from a rich jumble of late-night, early-morning scribblings
during production. His generously illustrated book is a special gift to
fans of the Beatles, of 'Yellow Submarine' and of spirited, flavourful
writing about movies! Sealed)
