Give My Regards to Broad Street

Give My Regards to Broad Street is a 1984 British musical drama film directed by Peter Webb, which starred Paul McCartney, Bryan Brown and Ringo Starr. The film covers a fictional day in the life of Paul McCartney, who wrote the film for the screen, and McCartney, Starr and Linda McCartney all appeared as themselves. Despite Give My Regards to Broad Street being unsuccessful in the box office financially and critically, its soundtrack album sold well. The title is a take on George M. Cohan's classic show tune "Give My Regards to Broadway" which made reference to London's Broad Street railway station, which would close in 1986. Filming and recording of Broad Street began in November 1982, after the completion of Pipes of Peace. Production on the album and film continued until July the following year. In the interim, Pipes of Peace and its singles were released, and the film project was thus scheduled for an autumn 1984 release once an appropriate amount of time had passed.
