Mary McCartney, Paul's daughter is the director. She said it was one of her favorite moments. Not sure what to take from that.
In a recent interview with The Mirror, Mary said, “The bit where the car nearly ran him over on the zebra crossing was so funny. As we were leaving [the studio], I said, ‘I’ll film you [on the crossing].’ He went over and this car totally didn’t stop for him!”
The documentary is Mary's first. Critics have been giving If These Walls Could Sing great reviews. The documentary delves into the 90-year history of Abbey Road Studios. "I was wondering if it was almost a bit too close to home, but I’m a huge documentary watcher... love them. I think the ones that are successful are the ones where it’s something close to the director's heart. So this definitely fits the bill."
If These Walls Could Sing is streaming now on Disney+. Check out the trailer:
