The Beatles documentary 'Let It Be' premiered a month after the band's breakup, and director Michael Lindsay-Hogg noticed some tension during that time but never thought it was the end of the band.

Capturing what would become some of the final moments of the Beatles all together was never director Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s goal while making 'Let It Be.' 'When we were filming, there was no sense that they would break up,' Lindsay-Hogg told Fox News Digital. 'There was a sense that they might have gone off and made solo albums like people do these days, but the nucleus was going to stay together, and that's what I thought many people thought.

Lindsay-Hogg credits the popularity of 'Get Back,' along with Jackson’s interest and support of 'Let It Be,' for helping bring the rarely seen documentary back to the public eye. 'Everyone has known that ‘Let It Be’ still exists and has existed for 50 years. And I think the very, very warm reception that ‘Get Back’ had, plus Peter Jackson saying there are two movies, one is ‘Get Back,’ one is ‘Let It Be,’' he said. 'They're not the same movie.

As filming morphed from plans to be a live TV special to what became the documentary 'Let It Be,' Lindsay-Hogg also focused on being as unobtrusive as possible. 'I was watching all the time, what was going on, once it turned into a documentary and, in my role as director, I was conscious of at certain points, the camera's not intruding on them,' he said.
