It's not that George isn't an interesting guy in and of himself, it's that the second the other three Beatles are onscreen with him, the voltage jumps out of the screen at you and swallows him up. It reminds me of a quote I once read in
A Day in the Life:
"On April 26 1969, a young engineer at Abbey Road Studios named Jeff Jarratt was getting ready to work his first session with the Beatles, who were then recording tracks for Abbey Road. George Martin was unable to attend, but Martin tried to prepare the nervous Jarratt for what he was about to experience. Jarratt recalled Martin saying, "There will be one Beatle there, fine. Two Beatles, great. Three Beatles, fantastic. But the minute the four of them are there, that is when this inexplicable charismatic thing happens, the special magic no one has been able to explain."
