Notes: The Beatles latest film project was Paul`s psychedelic brainchild "Magical Mystery Tour", a rather unfocused bizarre collection of almost random scenes under the guise
of a 1 hour TV movie that was shown stupidly in black and white on December 26th 1967 to a stunned and highly critical audience.
One of the final sequences filmed for the movie was essentially a promo video for "Fool on The Hill".
So in late October Paul, Mal Evans and cameraman Aubrey Dewar flew to France to shoot some footage for the song.
On the second day the three of them woke at 3.30am and a local taxi driver
took them to locations just outside Nice where they could film a sequence as the sun rose.
They all returned to London the next day.
