Which 1978 film starring Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees is named after a Beatles album?

This 1978 musical film, a jukebox-style production, directly takes its title from the Beatles' groundbreaking 1967 album of the same name. The movie's narrative is built around the songs from this album, as well as others from the Beatles' catalog, particularly "Abbey Road". The story follows Billy Shears, played by Peter Frampton, who is the grandson of the original Sgt. Pepper. He and his new band, which includes the Bee Gees as the Henderson brothers, must protect the magical instruments of the original band from evil forces.

The film was the brainchild of producer Robert Stigwood, who was also behind the successful musicals "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease". At the time, both Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees were at the height of their popularity, making the project seem like a surefire hit. The movie also featured an all-star cast of musical guests, including Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, and Earth, Wind & Fire, who performed covers of classic Beatles songs. George Burns served as the narrator for the film.

Despite the star power involved and the iconic source material, the film was not well-received by critics and is often considered a commercial and critical failure. Reviews frequently cited a weak plot and questionable interpretations of the beloved songs. However, some of the musical performances, such as Earth, Wind & Fire's version of "Got to Get You Into My Life" and Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together," were praised and achieved chart success. The film remains a curious piece of 1970s pop culture, notable for its ambitious concept and its assembly of prominent musical talent of the era.
