27 August 1965. Bel Air.

Elvis is coming off Paradise, Hawaiian Style. Colonel Parker is in the room. Chris Hutchins is working the phones. Brian Epstein is on the other end. Mal Evans can barely speak. Joe Esposito is smoothing the edges. The Beatles want the meeting. The King is not sure he does.

​

Then they are in the same house.

For sixty years the night has lived in scraps — a dim den, a no-photos rule, an awkward silence that turned into a jam. This is the first film to set the hours out in full, drawn from people who were actually there. Not the press line. The room.

​

Written by Keith Badman and Peter O’Brien.

​

What can be said now: the night did not end where the official story said it did. Witnesses have sat down. Material that has never been on a screen is in the file. The surprises stay in the picture until they are cleared to travel.

The first full account of the night Elvis and The Beatles shared a house in Bel Air. Told with people who were in the room. In development.
