Directed by Richard Lester, this musical comedy keeps up with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr for 36 hours at the height of Beatlemania. The session is hosted by Miguel Tamen.
The first Beatles feature film follows the four members of the mythical band, who are preparing for a televised concert, while dealing with a strict manager, hysterical fans ans problematic relatives.
The musicians portray over-the-top comical versions of themselves, recording a period that forever changed the history of music. The soundtrack is taken from the eponymous album, A Hard Day’s Night, edited in 1964.
