Good Ol' Freda

This decent documentary is about Freda Kelly, the long time secretary for The Beatles.  She talks about her career from the beginning to present.  She was there right when The Beatles were just barely starting.  Hell, Ringo wasn't even in the band yet.  She was in charge of their fan club.  She witness the band go from just any regular band to the most popular band in the world.  She talks about her crushes with each member.  The documentary plays some of the Beatles music and other original songs that the Beatles remade later.  It was fairly entertaining.   Anything to do with The Beatles, I know I'm going to like (at least a little bit).  Must of been a hell of a good life being part of Beatlemania.  This would of been a lot better if they were interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.  At least Ringo came out for a few seconds at the end acknowledging Freda. 
This documentary was made mostly for fans of The Beatles.  So, if you are one of the few that aren't fans, I won't recommend watching this.
