In the year 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fan named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview about peace. Thirty-eight years later, Jerry produced a film about it. The interview took place on May 26, 1969, when John and Yoko were staying in Toronto. This interview has been the subject of a short film titled “I Met the Walrus,” directed by Josh Raskin and produced by Jerry Levitan, which features animated illustrations of the interview[1][4]. Jerry Levitan also published an autobiographical book titled “I Met the Walrus: How One Day With John Lennon Changed My Life Forever,” containing the full interview and his stories about the event[1]. The interview is known for its candid and relaxed nature, providing a unique insight into John Lennon’s thoughts on peace and other topics[1][3].
