The Fifth Beatle Trailer

Brian Epstein was the manager of the biggest pop band in the world, The Beatles, for five years until his death in 1967. He was a musical impresario who knew genius when he first laid eyes on it and it was down to him these four lads from Liverpool sold more than 600 million records across the globe. But behind all that, he was suffering intensely from his own personal troubles; his sexuality just about ostracised him from society, alienating him so much that he never found love or, indeed, acceptance. He subsequently became addicted to amphetamines, began taking cannabis and developed insomnia which was not curbed by frequent visits to the Priory Clinic and led him to his death at the young age of thirty-two when he was found alone, locked in his bedroom. According to Paul McCartney, 'If anyone was the Fifth Beatle, it was Brian.'
