"Beatles' classic 60's film."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I'll ‘fess to not being a true Beatles’ fan, other than enjoying just a handful of their songs and this pure 60s film, ‘A Hard Day's Night’. It is great to be able to finally view this classic in 1080p, considering its first release, AFAIK, was in Quick Time format on a CD, which could only be played on a PC and we're talking early Pentium and lowly 2× speed CD drive.

Any Beatles afficianado will want to add this BR edition to their collection.

Description

A Hard Day's Night is a 1964 British black-and-white comedy film on Blu-ray, directed by Richard Lester and starring the Beatles—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr—during the height of Beatlemania.

The Fab Four's famous first foray into film is considered one of the most innovative and refreshing music movies ever made. Celebrating the phenomenon of Beatlemania in 1964 and capturing John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr in their electrifying element, A Hard Day's Night is a wildly irreverent journey through one day in the life of arguably the world's greatest rock'n'roll act.

Driven by madcap humour, timeless pathos and an irresistible sense of adventure, join The Beatles as they travel from their home town of Liverpool to London for an all-important TV performance. Along the way the band are not only mobbed by obsessed fans, but tasked with rescuing Paul's mischievous grandfather (Wilfrid Brambell) from moments of high peril as well as keeping an eye out for a wandering Ringo who manages to disappear just before the concert.

Nominated for two Academy Awards®, featuring all-time favourites ‘A Hard Day's Night’, ‘All My Loving’, Can't Buy Me Love', ‘I Should Have Known Better’, ‘She Loves You’, ‘Tell Me Why’ and many others, directed with flair by Richard Lester, A Hard Day's Night is a lively trip back to a fun era of sensational music marking the true birth of British Beatlemania.

A Hard Day's Night Movie Reviews

“American-born director Richard Lester serves up a helping of what, on this side of the pond, we came to think of as kicky, mod British filmmaking.” Chicago Reader

“The mop-tops are likeably relaxed, with Lennon offering a few welcome moments of his dry, acerbic wit.” Time Out

“It's a fine conglomeration of madcap clowning in the old Marx Brothers' style, and it is done with such a dazzling use of camera that it tickles the intellect and electrifies the nerves.” New York Times

“Not only has this film not dated, it may even look fresher than it did in 1964; the zigzag cutting and camera moves, the jaunty ironies and pop-celebrity playfulness, are all standard issue now on MTV and its offspring.” New York Magazine

“To watch the final concert segment is to look back decades and realize, as you do seeing vintage footage of Duke Ellington or Frank Sinatra or John Coltrane, that it's never really gotten any better.” Detroit Free Press
