Martin Scorsese produces a look at Beatlemania in America.

In recent years, fans of The Beatles have been absolutely spoiled by documentaries from top-tier filmmakers.

We've had Ron Howard's The Beatles: Eight Days a Week and Peter Jackson's Get Back docuseries, and now one of the masters of cinema is taking a look at a pivotal part of the Fab Four's story.

In 1964, The Beatles went global when Beatlemania took over America and that's the period covered by the band's recent LP box-set and upcoming Beatles '64 documentary.

The film is directed by David Tedeschi and produced by cinema legend Martin Scorsese and will be streaming on Disney+ from November 29.

A trailer for the film has just been launched, which you can watch right now at the top of this page.

The film features archive footage from the era, including The Beatles in concert in America and on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Some of the film uses newly-restored footage from the 1964 film What's Happening! The Beatles In The USA, originally shot by Albert and David Maysles.

It also features new interviews with the two surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
