The documentary is a feature-length profile of Britain's most celebrated record producer. In this very personal film, Sir
George talks about his childhood, his war experience and his early days as a music student. Originally broadcast to great acclaim in 2011 as part of the BBC's "
Arena" series, this version contains over 50 minutes of additional interviews not included in the TV broadcast version. These extras include contributions from Rick Rubin, T-Bone Burnett,
Howard Goodall, Jimmy Webb and Ken Scott.
Truly,
George Martin has had a career like no other. In the early '50s, he joined EMI/Parlophone and started working on orchestral music, music for children and single handedly pioneered a range of hugely successful comedy records with
Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan,
Peter Ustinov and others. Then, in 1962, he signed The
Beatles and everything changed. Together,
George Martin and The
Beatles revolutionized pop music and recording techniques, forging probably the greatest producer/artist collaboration there will ever be.
Produced By
George Martin features numerous classic clips of the artists he has produced, and new interviews with many of them including Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Michael Palin, Jeff Beck, Rolf Harris, Cilla Black, Millicent
Martin and Bernard Cribbins. A fascinating man, and a compelling film.
