Default Does this look like an authentic film of an actual recording?

Does this look to you like the audio is the performance the film is showing? Do the mics look like what would have been used at the time? I sense a shot or two were inserted after being shot separately but generally the sync looks dead-on - for example the melodic guitar lines. Were recordings done without headphones as shown in the film?

It looks like a recent re-scan and re-mix of a promotional film made for
TV at the time of the original release. As such, the performers will
have been miming to a playback of the released track, with takes being
done until the "performance" matched the music or somebody decided
"that's close enough".

The apparent ages and clothes of the performers match the mid 1960s.
