Good Ol' Freda

Before the days of the internet, before the 24 hour news cycle, before cell phones, before cable and streaming entertainment, the Beatles were a global phenomenon. 

There are few within the inner cyclone that remain to tell the story of their success. Yes, Sir Paul and Ringo are still alive, and can tell their story. Yet, there is one who can tell of their experience with the Fab Four: Freda Kelly.

You may not know her name, but she held one of the highest positions in the Beatles organization-she was their secretary. Every piece of fan mail that came to the band, she had to sort through it and answer it. What at first was a few pieces from fans from the Cavern Club soon became millions of pieces of correspondence.

Freda worked for the band from their beginning to the end of the road with Let it Be. To her, they were her mates, John, Paul, George and Ringo. To them, she was Good Ol' Freda.

A must see film for any Beatles fan, available on YouTube, Amazon Prime, Google Play, Vudu, iTunes. 4 stars.
