April 25 - TWO OF US



Today’s movie is a drama with a scene that happens on April 25. Watch it tonight and enjoy.

TWO OF US  

Paul McCartney, on tour with his band Wings, arrives unexpectedly at the Dakota apartment building in New York City to visit his old pal John Lennon. John’s wife is away so the two spend the day together. They talk, argue and play music together. The pair don disguises, walk through Central Park and confront a few fans in a cafe.  That evening they see Lorne Micheals on Saturday Night Live offer the Beatles $3,000.00 to perform on the show. John  and Paul decide to go and play on the show as a lark. Just after midnight on April 25, 1976 [1:24:25 to 1:27:32] Paul goes to get his guitar out of his car. When he returns to the apartment, John is on the phone with his wife Yoko Ono, so Paul leaves.
