Frankie Starlight is a 1995 film directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg. The screenplay was written by Ronan O'Leary and Chet Raymo, based on the internationally best-selling novel The Dork of Cork (ISBN 0-4466-7000-6) by Raymo.

Synopsis

Frank Bois writes a successful first novel and finds himself looking back over his life. His mother Bernadette (Parillaud) was a French woman who, after the death of her friends and family in World War II, hid herself aboard an Allied war ship heading to Ireland, where she exchanged sexual favors for silence among the soldiers who found her on board. A nice customs agent, Jack Kelly (Byrne), allowed Bernadette to enter Ireland illegally, and they soon became a couple, even though she was already pregnant from one of the soldiers from the ship.

At the little-known and extremely wealthy Abbey of Philadelphia the Abbess, Sister Hildegard, is dying. She wishes her favorite, Sister Alexandra, to succeed her but dies moments before she can make her endorsement public. Alexandra conspires with Sisters Gertrude and Walburga to win the coming election, and to defeat her rival, Sister Felicity, who is openly carrying on an affair with a Jesuit priest, Father Thomas. Alexandra orders hidden microphones and cameras installed throughout the convent, and even hires a pair of Jesuit students, Gregory and Ambrose, to break in and steal Thomas's compromising letters from Sister Felicity's sewing box. The break-in is discovered, but the real meaning is kept hidden and Alexandra wins the election by a landslide. Once she is made Abbess, Alexandra expels and excommunicates Felicity, who begins a very public campaign to topple Alexandra. At the same time, the publicity brings the abbey to the attention of the Holy See, which discovers that the order is an unofficial one, with no actual ties to the Roman Catholic Church. To make matters worse, Gregory and Ambrose blackmail Gertrude and Walburga, who send the bungling Sister Winifred to pay them off only to have the whole scandal made public.

En décembre 1968, le réalisateur Michael Lindsay-Hogg tourne The Rock and Roll Circus, un évènement musical organisé par les Rolling Stones auquel participent notamment John Lennon et sa femme Yoko Ono. Aussitôt terminé, le réalisateur se voit offrir, par Paul McCartney, l'opportunité de tourner un documentaire sur l'enregistrement du prochain album des Beatles. Accompagnés par l’équipe de tournage, le groupe se réunit à partir du 2 janvier 1969 dans les studios de cinéma de Twickenham, où ils avaient déjà tourné des scènes pour A Hard Day's Night et Help! et commence à enregistrer. Yoko Ono est présente aussi, assise à côté de John Lennon. L'ambiance est tendue, des désaccords apparaissent, sans compter le fait que les membres du groupe n’apprécient pas les conditions dans lesquelles ils répètent dans cet endroit particulier, sous l'œil de deux caméras tournant en continu. Chaque jour, ils commencent à travailler tôt le matin, ce qui les change profondément de leurs séances nocturnes habituelles aux studios Abbey Road. « Nous n'arrivions pas à nous y habituer, se souviendra Lennon. Les studios Twickenham étaient devenus un endroit cauchemardesque, où il fallait se rendre matin après matin. Nous ne pouvions vraiment pas faire de la musique dès huit heures du matin ni même à dix heures, avec ces objectifs attachés à nos moindres gestes, avec tous les techniciens gravitant autour de nous, attentifs à fixer même nos bâillements. » Durant ces séances, les Beatles jouent de tout et de rien, beaucoup (près de 100 titres seront abordés), font le « bœuf » (jamming), souvent mal, faux et sans conviction.
