Fab, Gear and Subversive

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2018)

Aside from the fun, laughs and music, in the context of 1964 Cold War America, the lads and Grandfather were challenging official authority in scene after scene. The British Invasion had barely started and the band and this movie (and the Civil Rights movement) heralded the opening of The Sixties.
When the snobby gent on the train reminds the lads that "I fought the war for your sort", Ringo's response nailed it: "I'll bet your sorry you won." In 1964! Would have gotten us a slap from our dads. Grandfather at the police station is another subversive gem.
AHDN tops my list of subversives along with Dr. Strangelove and Office Space.
