A few choice words were said Leach said the chauffeur started working for the Beatles in 1964 during the filming of "Help " He is survived by his wife Jean and their son Beatles' Ex-Chauffeur, Inspiration Dies Mar 11, 11:07 PM EST Alf Bicknell, chauffeur to the Beatles at the height of their fame and inspiration for the song, "Baby You Can Drive My Car," has died at the age of 75, the band's former promoter said Thursday " At first, he drove the band in an Austin Princess with blacked-out windows; later, the group traveled in Lennon's Rolls Royce Phantom V For a time after leaving the Beatles, he drove the New Christy Minstrels in the United States The cause of death was not given " However, Bicknell stayed with the Beatles until they decided to stop touring in 1966 Anyone who was beaten up by Imelda Marcos's bully squad is a friend of mine," a reference to the rough handling the band had while touring the Philippines The first time he drove the group, Bicknell recalled, "Every time I stopped at a traffic light I felt conscious of all the eyes peering in Sam Leach said Bicknell died at his home in Oxford, England on Tuesday He described how John Lennon once stole his chauffeur's hat and flung it out of the band's car with the words, "You don't need that anymore Alf, you are one of us now He retired from driving in 1980 after injuring his right arm and made a new career talking about his experiences â€â€? but rejected all financial offers to "dish the dirt Funeral details were not announced " "He was with them for four years including when they met Elvis (Presley) in 1965," he said " In his autobiography, written with Garry Marshall, Bicknell said he became very close to the band Let's just say he was upset Between sets of traffic lights, I'm getting faster and faster, and I pull up a bit quick outside this block of flats at one point and Bang! George (Harrison), who's sitting on the occasional seat, hits his head on the partition I thought, well, that's it â€â€? the shortest job that's ever happened to Alf Harrison once wrote, "Alf Bicknell lived moment to moment with the Beatles through those years "Alf often recalled with pride how Elvis called him 'Sir' during that meeting Bicknell spent most of his career as a chauffeur, although he did a stint as an apprentice butcher and once worked as a circus clown By the final act, the movie feels as if it's directing itself Some material may be inappropriate for young children The audience has a history with him; we love watching him tick, knowing he'll explode eventually Nick, who's been using drugs to maintain his cover, shoots a pregnant woman, who subsequently loses her baby All ages admitted If you can't stomach it, "Narc" is not for you Nick quickly realizes that if he's going to get anywhere, he'll have to work with Lt It defies the formula that's governed cop movies for the last 20 years or so: Two partners, one straight man and one live wire, trading barbs and jibes, breaking the rules, exasperating their superiors and hauling in the bad guys in spectacular fashion You feel Carnahan's passion for the material in the brutal momentum of his storytelling Taken on its own terms, it's nearly perfect Patric has been down this road before too, in "Rush," as a narc who succumbs to addiction Carnahan shows us Liotta's explosiveness right away, then applies it to a dedicated, grief-stricken cop who says all he's after is justice While arguing persuasively that investigating a comrade's death brings out the worst in police officers, Carnahan remains sympathetic to law enforcement Taste the blood "Narc" is small, smart and â€â€? well, it's still loud But among the steely of constitution â€â€? those who don't mind violence and bleakness as long as they serve a story worth telling â€â€? this one's going to be talked about Three and a half stars out of four Eighteen months later, the furor over Nick's actions has been replaced by another outrage: the unsolved slaying of another undercover narc NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted R â€â€? Restricted Some material may not be suitable for children "Narc," a Paramount Pictures release, is rated R for strong, brutal violence, drug content and pervasive language ) In the conflict between Tellis and Oak, "Narc" dramatizes the difficulty of getting to the truth when the circumstances surrounding a policeman's death are in doubt â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G â€â€? General audiences Carnahan gets his arty flourishes out of the way early, knowing that once the investigation picks up steam, the best thing he can do is stay out of the way Set in Detroit, the movie opens with undercover narcotics officer Nick Tellis (Jason Patric) chasing down a suspected dealer As the case inches forward, Carnahan creates a mood of gloomy foreboding, with a few stylistic nods to Steven Soderbergh â€â€? the stark, blue-tinged cinematography that also gave Detroit a steely chill in "Out of Sight," and a tremulous, nearly tuneless score from Soderbergh's regular composer, Cliff Martinez He understands both the damage bullets can do to bodies and the toll police work takes on family life Despite Liotta's looming presence, this is Patric's movie, and he carries it with wisdom, confidence and intensity The pressure grows for Tellis as he blasphemously suggests that the dead cop may not have been a saint or a martyr Running time: 107 minutes Since Liotta's breakthrough role in "Something Wild," he has made a living playing psychos, villains and ordinary men driven to violent extremes It's a genre film, and a harrowing one, made with the confidence of a born filmmaker PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested Henry Oak (Ray Liotta), the slain officer's former partner, who has been pulled off the case because of his volatility Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian The aesthetic: big, dumb and loud Feel the sting At the Movies: 'Narc' Dec 20, 9:51 AM EST Amid the spectacle and sentimentality that overwhelm the multiplexes every holiday season, the gaudy prestige pictures meant to win over audiences and Oscar voters alike, "Narc" arrives like a piece of cold steel smacked against your unsuspecting temple PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13 The young director has done his homework; he trades brilliantly on the cinematic past of his stars (When we meet him, he's pummeling a handcuffed suspect with a billiard ball inside a sock With the paunch he packed on for this film and thick goatee, he's beefy and frightening With leads in the case drying up, desperate police officials turn to Nick, baiting him with the cushy job of his choice if he consults on the murder investigation If anything, Liotta has grown more menacing with age; his once piercing blue eyes are duller, more sinister Here, the specter of past drug use haunts Tellis, and his wife, adding another layer of danger to his return to active duty The question is whether to believe him In turning for his inspiration to cop movies of the '70s, such as "The French Connection" and "Serpico," 32-year-old writer-director Joe Carnahan turns the recent formula on its ear "Narc" is the little cop movie that could |
