John Lennon-How I Won The War Outtakes

★★ The film was made on location in Spain in the autumn of 1966. It has been said “Strawberry Fields Forever“ was written by Lennon on the set. The film’s release was delayed by 6 months as Richard Lester went on to work on Petulia (1968), shortly after completing How I Won The War. John Lennon, soon after the end of the Beatles’ touring, got a haircut to prepare for his role in this movie. During its making, he started wearing round glasses, and continued to do so for several years afterwards. A photo of him with the short hair and the round glasses appeared in some newspapers at the time, contrasted to what he looked like during the Beatles’ touring.
