Notes: The week-long event was filmed, and a colour 40-minute film, Honeymoon, was edited from the footage. Lennon and Ono also
record audio selections that later comprised one side of their third experimental LP, The Wedding Album.

The film was directed by Peter Goessens, and began with a montage of scenes shot around Amsterdam city intercut with footage of
Lennon and Ono singing, followed by lengthy sequences of the couple asleep, waking up and reading the newspapers. It also
included interview extracts, including one with the skeptical Daily Mirror journalist Donald Zec.

The film "Mr. & Mrs. Lennon`s Honeymoon" was premiered in September 1969 at London`s ICA along with some more of John & Yoko`s
art films.The occasion went under the title of "An Evening With John & Yoko".
