Both Scorsese and Harrison spoke with CBSNews.com on the Film Festival red carpet about a man who was often referred to as the “quiet Beatle.”
“I don’t think anyone really knew much about George, prior to this documentary,” Harrison explained.
“I agree,” Scorsese added. “In the 60s, to be talking about the spiritual advantages…of another cutlural view of life…especially from the East…was very, very brave.” The director is referring to Harrison’s at times-controversial studies of Indian culture and Hinduism.
Harrison, who served as a producer for this documentary, had nothing but praise for Scorsese as he brought her deceased husband’s story to the big screen. “Marty has found the essence of George,” Harrison told us.
