Lennon documentary premiere cancelled after Yoko Ono legal threat

A screening of the John Lennon documentary Three Days In The Life was cancelled at a Maine school after Yoko Ono's lawyers threatened legal action.

The premiere of a John Lennon documentary, 'Three Days In The Life', has been cancelled because Yoko Ono has threatened to take legal action, claiming that she has not authorised public viewing of the film, which is said to contain footage of Lennon composing, and rehearsing for a BBC programme.

The documentary was supposed to be screened yesterday at the Berwick Academy in Maine, but according to the Associated Press the school's headmaster cancelled the event when he received a warning from Ono's lawyers. It transpires that the producers of the film were unable to get a release from Ono, but thought they'd be OK doing free screenings in US schools and colleges, but Ono's latest action suggests not.
