More than forty years after musical superstar
Paul McCartney proposed marriage to her on live television, onetime
ABC reporter
Ruth Anson sets out to see if the famed former
Beatle is willing to make good on his offer, only to find her journey complicated by the opportunistic filmmaker seeking to cash-in on the current
reality craze.
Anson was covering the "teen beat" for
ABC news when, in August of 1965, she sat down for a brief interview
The Beatles. At one point in the interview,
Anson asked
McCartney whether he had any plans for marriage. Much to her surprise, the teen idol responded by stating, "No, unless you'll marry me now." At the time
Anson simply laughed the proposal off; decades later, she's determined to bring "closure" to the situation by tracking
McCartney down and asking whether he was serious.
Mark Cushman is a filmmaker in search of his breakthrough project, and he believes that by turning
Anson's adventure into a
documentary he'll quickly move on to bigger and better things. Over the course of the production, however,
Cushman quickly begins to realize that his "serious documentary" simply won't be that marketable. The Solution: take a tip from
reality television, and use a bit of creative editing in order to manipulate the project into something slightly more entertaining. Unfortunately for
Anson, that means creating a film that could do serious harm to her stand-up reputation.
