Shades of a Personality allegedly was a proposed third film by The Beatles, originally planned to be produced in 1967, around the same time Magical Mystery Tour was filmed historically. I only know the film's roughest details. Namely, the film supposedly was to be concerned with a man with a three way spit personality. John Lennon was to play the actual person, while the rest of the group were going to play the other personalities that exist in the main character's diseased mind. Of course, because of scheduling concerns, and other issues, the film was never produced. Of course it doesn't have a very good title, but that could probably have been changed. Now my question is, what if the film had actually been made? And what changes would be needed for that to occur? Now this sounds like the kind of idea that could have either produced a great film, or a fantastically bad one.
If this is a terrible idea, what other ideas might have made for a good third Beatle film in the same timeframe? I have thought about some sort of Beatles Through the Looking Glass film, but I had trouble figuring out the cast and how the idea would come to be. (Along with who would direct, who'd play Alice, etc.)
