The upcoming documentary from Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald captures the couple in their post-Beatles early days in NYC in the early ‘70s, following them as they move into an apartment in Greenwich Village.
The clip begins with Lennon calling for a man named Howard, and the woman who answers the phone begins to spell out his name before recognizing who it is.
As more rare and restored footage rolls — including some previously unseen material from their personal archives, including home movies filmed by the couple — Ono reflects, “I was considered a bitch in this society. Since I met John, I was upgraded into a witch.”
Beatles star John Lennon has been immortalised on a new coin to coincide with the year he would have celebrated his 85th birthday.
It has been issued by The Royal Mint to honour Lennon's life and record-breaking career.
The design of the coin is based on one of Lennon's most famous portrait photographs, taken on the roof of his penthouse in New York City, six years before he was shot dead.
Its Imagine inscription on the right side of the coin is a special nod to the artist's single and album which became a posthumous hit worldwide.
Coin designer Henry Gray wanted the portrait, based on an image taken by photographer Bob Gruen, to feature as the main design along with John Lennon's name.
Lennon follows the likes of Queen, David Bowie, Shirley Bassey and Sir Paul McCartney, to be honoured on their very own UK coin.
As a founder of The Beatles and also a solo artist, Lennon won an accolade of awards including seven Grammys, and has also been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriters Hall of Fame and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Lennon was killed by Mark Chapman, who shot him four times outside his New York Manhattan apartment on 8 December1980.
