Birth Of The Beatles, dating back to 1979, is a reasonable stab at presenting the pre-fame Beatles story in the context of a (made-for-TV) feature length dramatisation.
Of course, it isn't 100% accurate - how could it be? - but it gives a fair flavour of those times, and presents the main milestones in a relatively fair way.
The cast is, on the whole, solid. They don't always capture the essences of the individuals they portray, with one exception: Stephan MacKenna nails the young John Lennon with an uncannily accurate portrayal - voice, body language, mannerisms, everything is totally believable.
