While Paul needed improvement, Lester went on to praise George Harrison and his surprisingly good acting skills.

He said: “George, I think, was the most effective actor all the way through.

“He attempted less, but he always hit it right in the centre, and I always knew what I was going to get with George.”

The director also spoke candidly about working with John Lennon.
