Don’t we all wish we had the hands of gold? Having the Midas (Man) touch means just that. Everything that’s touched is turned to gold. This was definitely the case for Brian Epstein, who was the mastermind behind the discovery and success of The Beatles.
This British drama tells the unbelievable story of how Epstein, a young Jewish record store owner and music entrepreneur, catapulted the Beatles – as well as other famous pop artists – to international success. The cast includes a fabulous performance by Jacob Fortune-Lloyd as Epstein and supporting performances by Emily Watson, Eddie Marsan, Jay Leno and Eddie Izzard. With a cast like this, how could you pass this one up?
