’Produced By George Martin’ is a feature length profile of Sir George Martin, Britain’s most celebrated record producer. Sometimes referred to as ’the fifth Beatle’ due to his extensive involvement in each of The Beatles original albums, he has produced 30 number one hit singles in the UK, and 23 number ones in the USA. Other artists he has produced for include Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Cilla Black, America, Jeff Bech, Ultravox, Cheap Trick, Shirley Bassey and more.

The film talks about his childhood, his war experience and his early days as a music student. In the early fifties he joined EMI/Parlophone and started working on orchestral music, comedy records and music for children. Then in 1962 he signed The Beatles. Together George Martin and The Beatles revolutionised pop music and recording techniques, forging probably the greatest producer / artist collaboration ever. The film is in an intimate portrait of George Martin at home and at work.
