A Hard Day's Night - The First (and Greatest) Music Video!

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2009)

The Beatles' attempt to follow Elvis' lead by making a movie surpassed any of Pressley's productions in this classic, artsy black-and-white comedy. The Fab Four, complimentary compared to the Marx Brothers, are filmed "in a train and a room and a car and a room and a room and a room" (as Paul's grandfather complains), but anywhere the Beatles show up makes it an extraordinary place. The witty humor, the unforgettable songs, the impeccable casting of supporting characters, topped off with the ambiance that Beatlemania created...all of these ingredients produced a feast for the eyes and ears that can easily be watched over and over. It's just a shame that only 10 stars can be given!
