The Rutles are a parody of The Beatles, jointly created by Eric Idle and Neil Innes. The fictional group is best known for the 1978 mockumentary film about them, entitled All You Need Is Cash (often referred to as just The Rutles). Its tagline is: 'The musical legend which will last a lunchtime.' The film was written by Idle, who also co-directed with Gary Weis, and featured 20 songs (many of them prominently) written by Innes. An album of this material was released in the 1970s, and an 1996 follow-up Archaeology, parodied the Beatles' Anthology. A follow-up film, Can't Buy Me Lunch, was made in 2002, but was not released for over a year. It is still unavailable in Britain. Both films are seen fairly regularly on the VH1 "Classics" cable channel. The band The Rutles members in All You Need Is Cash were: · Ron Nasty (John Lennon) -- played by Neil Innes
