Up Your Legs

Whilst in New York in early December 1970, keen to include some new material in a festival of their films that Jonas Mekas had arranged for the Elgin Theatre, John and Yoko made two films - Up Your Legs and Fly.
Shot over two days, Up Your Legs was 80 minutes long and featured over 300 pairs of legs, photographed from the toes up to the top of the thighs. "We asked everybody to donate their legs for peace" said Yoko, and a host of celebrities obliged, including George Segal, Larry Rivers and D.A Pennebaker. The film ends with the Lennons showing their bare behinds.
