What was the name of the 1984 musical film written by and starring Paul McCartney?

In 1984, Paul McCartney took on the ambitious project of writing, composing for, and starring in his own feature film. The resulting musical adventure follows a fictionalized McCartney on a frantic 24-hour search for the missing master tapes of his new album. If he fails to find them, a sinister corporation will seize his music empire. The film was a family affair of sorts, co-starring his wife Linda McCartney and fellow Beatle Ringo Starr, alongside Tracey Ullman and Bryan Brown.

Despite its star power, the film was a notable critical and commercial failure, often cited as a passion project that didn't connect with audiences. The accompanying soundtrack album, however, was a completely different story. It soared to number one on the UK charts and became a major international success. The album was praised for its mix of new material, including the hit ballad "No More Lonely Nights," and fresh, orchestral re-recordings of beloved Beatles and Wings classics like "Yesterday" and "Silly Love Songs." For many, the music entirely overshadowed the movie it was made to promote.
