The Beatles
On 19 & 20 May 1966 Lindsay-Hogg directed two pairs of film clips (then known as "filmed inserts") to promote The Beatles current single "Paperback Writer".
On 4 September 1968 at Twickenham Film Studios Hogg directed the promotional film for the new single "Hey Jude" with Paul McCartney himself designing the set. The event is also memorable as it marked Ringo Starr's return to the group after a two-week hiatus, during which he had announced that he had left the band. The final cut was a combination of several different takes, twelve having been filmed during the entire days session, according to the actor Marc Sinden who was in the film along with his brother Jeremy. In 1970, he directed the full-length documentary Let It Be.
In 2000, he directed the VH1 television movie entitled Two of Us, named after the song of the same name, a track from The Beatles' final album, Let It Be. The movie is a fictionalized account of 24 April 1976, (six years after the break-up of The Beatles) the day Lorne Michaels made a statement on Saturday Night Live in which he offered The Beatles $3000.00 to appear on his program. The story is told through a series of conversations between John Lennon (Jared Harris) and Paul McCartney (Aidan Quinn).
