The Ultimate Beatles Film.

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2015)

A Hard Day's Night (1964): Dir: Richard Lester / Cast: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Wilfrid Brambell: A tremendous tribute to the Beatles regarding the height of their career where the seemingly normal becomes out right bizarre. They are John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison and together they deal with screaming female fans, nagging management, and Paul's grandfather who has his own agenda when receiving all four signatures on a photograph. Directed by Richard Lester with many hilarious moments and great musical numbers. It celebrates the reality that The Beatles became the biggest band in history. At one point it was claimed that they were bigger than Jesus himself although such claims must be taken from an amusing standpoint. The year that this film was released The Beatles made their now classic appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. This film is shot in appropriate black and white and more or less follows each member of the band particularly Ringo who goes off on the town with Paul's grandfather where they are arrested. Wilfrid Brambell is quite funny as McCartney's grandfather whose ideas are best left forgotten in terms of his influence. Hilarious documentary style comedy that simply plays out the humorous nature often associated with one of the most famous and celebrated bands in music history. Score: 10 / 10
