Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A 2010 'documentary' film by Joel Gilbert, purporting to tell the true story of what happened to Paul McCartney in 1966. The full title is Paul McCartney Really Is Dead: The Last Testament of George Harrison. It's... not very convincing.The story goes that on July 1, 2005, the filmmakers received an anonymous package containing a microcassette player and two cassettes purporting to be the 'last testament' of George Harrison, recorded shortly after he was attacked and stabbed by a deranged fan in 1999. In it, he describes how an argument between McCartney and the other Beatles in the Abbey Road studios in 1966 ended with McCartney storming off in his white Aston Martin. Later that evening, the other Beatles are visited by Maxwell, a sinister MI5 operative, who reveals to them that Paul has been killed in a car crash — something which, if revealed, will cause such horror among starstruck Beatles fans that they will commit mass suicide. What follows is a tense journey into the darker corners of Government Conspiracy as the three remaining Beatles find themselves trapped in a sinister conspiracy involving a lookalike and the threat of death hanging over all of them...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Well, actually what follows is an exhaustive recounting of all the 'clues' that supposedly reveal the 'Paul is Dead' conspiracy narrated by someone doing a very poor impression of George Harrison, complete with very bad photoshopping and a Government Conspiracy Theory which makes very little sense at best. But it's good for a (rather derisive) laugh.

Found Footage Films: A variant. The audio is supposedly taken from cassette tapes that the filmmaker, Joel Gilbert, found. The visuals are stock footage and images of the Beatles. Joel says that five years were spend trying to authenticate the tapes, using three different forensic labs, but each test proved inconclusive.

Big Bad: Maxwell is the leader of MI5 agents and has John Lennon killed and tries to do the same with George.

As You Know: George flat out states he assumes the listener knows the history of Beatles. However, he still gives a history lesson about the band.

Animal Motifs: Paul is associated with walruses due to Maxwell comparing Paul's corpse to one.
