This long-out-of-print film, which was not broadcast in the U.S. on its release in 1967, is unique in that it was conceived and directed by the Beatles. In fact, few people have ever seen it in its entirety. The Paley Center, in association with Apple Films, is pleased to host a special screening of the newly restored film, now with a remixed soundtrack. It was considered confusing and disjointed by many of the older generation of fans when it was originally seen on British television at Christmas in 1967, but, 45 years later, this experimental film with a loose narrative is now considered way ahead of its time. Magical Mystery Tour features classic songs "I Am The Walrus," "The Fool on the Hill," "Blue Jay Way," and "Your Mother Should Know," as well as the catchy title track. After the screening a panel of illustrious artists will discuss the enduring legacy of the film and its importance in the Beatles canon.

An evening originally conceived by Marvin Hamlisch as a retrospective on his work, will now allow us all to pay tribute to his inspiring work and brilliant career. Stars of stage and screen will perform and also reflect on working with Hamlisch and his iconic impact on media, particularly in the field of television and film. Marvin’s wife Terre Blair Hamlisch has aided the Paley in crafting this singular salute, as newly contributed and rarely seen footage will enhance our archives through the creation of a bittersweet, but valuable and eternal, Marvin Hamlisch Collection.

“Late at Night, Comedy Gets Pointed and Political,” the New York Times announced in a recent article, asserting that today’s intensely polarized political culture has redefined late-night television comedy. That’s where we come in: One week before the presidential election, the Paley Center and the Writers Guild of America East have formed a winning ticket, assembling this dynamic panel of topical comedians for a provocative, insightful, and sometimes just downright hilarious look at the state of political comedy in 2012 America.
