Question
I recall seeing a TV movie about The Beatles which show a street fight between John Lennon, Stuart Sutcliffe and some street thugs. Did this actually take place and what is the movie that showed this?
James G.

Answer
Heya James,
 According to Peter Carlin's book, "McCartney: A Life", Sutcliffe died of a small but malignant tumor, which gave him incredible headaches and mood swings.
I believe the clip you had seen was from the TV special, "Two of Us".

 I hope this answers your questions.
