The Compleat Beatles is a reference to a book by what author?
The Compleat Beatles The Compleat Beatles, released in 1982, is a two-hour documentary chronicling the career of the Beatles. Although it has since been supplanted by the longer and more in-depth documentary "Beatles Anthology", "The Compleat Beatles" was for many years largely regarded as the definitive film about the Beatles. The word "" is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the intentional misspelling of "Beetles" and a reference to the famous book on fishing, "The Compleat Angler".
