About A Hard Day's Night

Over two "typical" days in the life of The Beatles, the boys struggle to keep themselves and Sir Paul McCartney's mischievous grandfather in check while preparing for a live TV performance.

About

The Beatles star in their debut feature film which serves as a satirical mockumentary following a day-in-the-life of band mates George, Paul, John, and Ringo. The comedy was directed by Richard Lester.

Trivia

The picture was filmed in a cinéma vérité style in black-and-white. In order to obtain a U certificate for theatrical screenings a phrase was edited out of the film due to its inappropriate nature.
