In 1969, Allen Klein was hired by John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr to sort out the finances of The Beatles. The band risked going bankrupt, despite their enormous success.

For once, Klein didn't screw his clients up... but still, he ended up being the bad guy. Was he responsible for the Fabs' break up? What forces did he face? How did he deliver what the band had asked him?

Watch this video to get a quick history of what went on between The Beatles and Allen Klein, and tell me what you think about him: hero or villain?
