This is an ad for the 1981 movie version of the hit Broadway show, Beatlemania. The lineup in the movie were the best look a likes from the many bunks (casts). Also, this is my personal favorite Beatlemania lineup.
This is the reason why this particular lineup is my favorite..just listen to their performance of Magical Mystery Tour...just superb!! That's Dave, Mitch, Tom and Ralph at their best.
This cast consists of David Leon as John Lennon, Mitch Weissman as Paul McCartney, Tom Teeley as George Harrison and Ralph Castelli as Ringo Starr.

there was a Broadway show called Beatlemania, produced and created by the Aerosmith managers, Steve Leber and David Krebs. Since the Broadway show was making a ton of money, Leber/Krebs decided to make more cash by doing a movie. By casting the best look a likes they had already in the production, they made the movie, which is a super scaled down version of the original show, that might be part of the reason the movie didn't make as much as it should have.

Sweet! I have never seen this "commercial" before. I did see David Leon earlier this year when he was with the tribute band RAIN. He is an amazing John Lennon! Thanks for posting it. :)
