Movie: Buster (1988)
Tagline: Charming, lovable… and wanted for the crime of the century!
Trivia: Despite this movie taking place in England during the early to mid-1960s, the film features absolutely no music by The Beatles. This was not through lack of trying. Phil Collins reported in an interview in 1988 the filmmakers received permission from all three surviving Beatles, as well as Yoko Ono, to use songs by the Beatles. However, lawyers got involved and, as a result, no Beatles music is heard in the film.
“Buster is a small time crook who pulls a big time job. When he finds that the police will not let the case drop, he goes into hiding and can’t contact his wife and child. He arranges to meet them in Mexico where he thinks they can begin again, but finds that he must choose between his family and freedom. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>”
