Summary: Avoid at all cost
Review: The packaging is allright. The rest, well a complete waste of time and money. The DVD has no structured story. The quality of the picture varies a lot. It gives no insight whatsoever. Please let somebody make a good docu with the consent of Olivia, Dani et.al.

Summary: worse than bad
Review: Though not a Beatles/George Harrison expert or fanatic particularly, I found factual errors and misrepresentations in the content of the dvd and the booklet. The audio disk is next to unpallatable- a random collection of old t.v. or radio snippets in which Mr. Harrison is barely even represented. The dvd delivers nothing of what the packaging implies may be the focus of the disc (i.e. somehthing of an emphasis on Harrison's personal beliefs and lifestyle) and the basic biographical info. it does offer barely skims the surface of what is widely available concerning such a well known person. A high school student doing a term project would probably produce more insights using source material readily at hand. I bought this dvd in a store- had I read some of the Amazon reviews I probably would have avoided this piece of trash. Read a biography instead.

Summary: This IS what it says!
Review: Well, the review from the other fella stated that the cd wasn't George in his own words, but he may have gotten the PAL version from the UK, because that's what I found with the UK version as well. However, the US version of the cd **IS** a 60 minute audio cd with mainly early Beatles interviews. It's more "the lads in their own words" rather than "George in his own words", but it's still early interviews and such that some fans might not have heard.As far as the dvd goes, it's no 75 minutes, although it also has a discography and biography. Some great footage of The Beatles, but it tended to jump around a bit, like going from George's first interest in the Maharishi to the attack in 1999 (with a little too much focus on the attacker), then back to Brian's death and then skipping forward to George's appearance in court to keep the Kingsize Taylor tapes off the market. The production seemed to ignore nearly everything from about 1960 until 1998. Still, there was a very nice interview with George Martin, appeared to actually be from 11/30/01, and Paul's comments that day. Some video I'd never seen before, a lovely one with Ravi probably in 1998ish (about Chants of India? The Palace Interview?), video of Olivia going to court, Dhani's statement after court, footage of Patti and George's wedding day, and some absolutely priceless anecdotes from an old school chum, regarding George's childhood and school years. Some of the video was things I'd seen before, but not in as good quality. I'd give it a about 3 and a half out of 5 stars, mainly because of skipping so many years between 1969 and present. The cd was all right, but I don't think it was anything I hadn't heard before.....but it could be 'new stuff' to fans who haven't heard a lot of interviews, mainly early Beatles. I enjoyed watching the DVD, but it could have been better.

Summary: An absolute disgrace
Review: You know you're in trouble when the back cover reads: "This is an unofficial programme which does not seek to represent the George Harrison Estate, Apple Inc. or any other official body associated with George Harrison. This programme does not contain the music or performances of The Beatles or George Harrison." Add to that the false advertising:
DVD Running Time approximately 75 minutes
--> Try 57 minutes when the credits roll I'm taking my copy back to my store for a refund. It is certainly not worth the purchase price - I might buy it if it was $5.
