Additional InformationA HARD DAY'S NIGHT presents a fictionalized day in the life of The Beatles as they give a performance on a live television show. Filmed just a month after their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964, this film introduces us to the unique personalities of each member of the Beatles. The film opens with the band boarding a train mobbed with adoring young fans (mostly women) as they attempt to travel to the television studio in London. The antics of the band during rehearsals and makeup application provide a large part of the comic material in this feature, though there are other moments of pure hilarity. The unscripted vignette featuring a hangover-suffering Ringo is especially funny, particularly when he is arrested and risks having to miss the live television broadcast. None of this goes unnoticed by the director of the show, played by Victor Spinetti, a recurring cast member in Beatles movies. As the clock ticks away dramatically, our heroes manage to free Ringo from jail and sneak onto the stage in the nick of time, delighted in the knowledge that they have nearly driven the director mad in the process. Arguably the first music video ever made, this faux documentary and its shooting style have been a tremendous influence on nearly every rock and roll feature since.
ReviewsTotal Film - ...As a vehicle for the mop-tops' schoolboy humour and all-smiles-and-screams gig, it's infectious stuff..., Hollywood Reporter - ...The film is mad, mad and crazy....Imaginative..., Premiere - "...Helter-skelter glee..." - Recommended, Entertainment Weekly - "...[A] rapid-fire screenplay and the...Beatles' charismatic acting....Irresistible..." -- Rating: A+, Film4 - For fans this is a chance to enjoy The Beatles' legendary music and charisma with unprecedented clarity.

  • a nostalgic trip down Memory lane

    i saw the Beatles live in 1963 and it was an experience i was 11 years old then so watching the film again has a lot of nostalgic Memories for me there has never been a Band like them before or since and there never will be its well worth watching for anyone who never experienced Beatlemania
