Pros: The Beatles, the music, Wilfrid Brambell, Victor Spinetti; great direction; exhilarating
Cons: The humor might not catch on decades later; will non Beatles fans like it?
Summary: Midway through A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, George Harrison stumbles into the production offices of smug Simon Marshall (An uncredited Kenneth Haigh), who runs a "hip" trendsetting television program and tosses about mod phrases like "cheeky baby" and "sonny ... read more

Pros: nostalgia, babe...!
Cons: Embarrassingly lovable
Summary: The vinyl age brought us the lovable gods of rock, the Beatles. Richard Lester in his fabulously scripted and directed film A Hard Day's Night points out all the fuzzy sides of these musical legends. At the time Hard Day's Night came out it was ... read more

Pros: The Fab Four; spirited good fun; witty dialog and plenty of sight gags; dynamic soundtrack
Cons: Excellent package of extras except no interviews with surviving band members
Summary: Beatlemania would have occurred without Richard Lester, but the man gave it one heck of a nudge. Historical Background: Richard Lester, despite being known mainly as a British film director, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1932. He ... read more

Pros: Great music, great laughs, GORGEOUS cinematography!
Cons: B & W might bother some people. And the humor can be slightly British.
Summary: You can just hear it, can't you? The loud guitars, the harmonies, the screams?
The 1964 film A Hard Day's Night is a perfect portrait of the Beatles at the height of their "boyband" days; a film which many musical groups have since ... read more

Pros: An interesting look at the Fab Four in the days of relative simplicity
Cons: a few interviews shedding little information or insight.
Summary: When I was about fourteen years old I remember waiting on line to get in to see A Hard Days Night. The line began early in the day and stretched far around the theatre. I didn't make the first show so we stayed on line for the second show. Unknown ... read more

Pros: Lots of humour, great songs, cinematic style
Cons: If you really hate the Beatles, this film probably won't make things better for you.
Summary: The Beatles were just experiencing the beginnings of their fame in the early 1960’s, and naturally, other people besides the band itself were wanting a piece of that fame. Music stars such as Elvis Presley and others had already experienced film ... read more

Pros: Great script; the Beatles are naturals; excellent added material
Cons: Terrible lip-syncing
Summary: The Beatles' first film, "A Hard Day's Night," was shot in six weeks and released three months later to take advantage of what everyone thought was going to be a brief moment of fame for the four lads from Liverpool. To the surprise of nearly everybody, ... read more

Pros: C'mon it's The Beatles!
Cons: What cons?

Pros: Funny as heck and plenty of good tunes, to boot
Cons: Not a one
Summary: When the Beatles first became stars around the world in 1964, United Artists wanted a film that would allow the company to capitalize on the popularity of the band. Oh, and the folks at United Artists wanted it as soon as possible. Oh, and they didn't ... read more

Pros: The Beatles' personality and music are glorious
Cons: They couldn't stay young
Summary: In 1963, United Artists wanted a cheapo exploitation flick to cash in on the Beatles craze; for $600,000, they got a piece of movie history called A Hard Day's Night. Almost four decades later, it still stands as a delightful look at Beatlemania ... read more

Pros: Not just a nostalgia trip but a genuinely funny film
Cons: Might make you remember how old you are

Pros: fresh, full of energy, really embodies spirit of early Beatlemania
Cons: somewhat stilted dialogue in beginning
Summary: Sadly, I was born several decades too late for Beatlemania, so I have to catch up when I can. This past weekend, I had the opportunity to see _A Hard Day's Night_ at the local art theater--a movie I'd seen and enjoyed before on video, but never on the ... read more

Pros: a whole lot of fun, good music-it's all very good
Cons: nothing
Summary: I don't think that it would be fair to call me a Beatle fanatic. I mean, I think they are great and I love hearing their songs and have spent my fair time studying some of their albums, but there's just so much out there that I try not to dwell on music ... read more

I want to start out this review by stating something which may not be all that obvious. I am not a big Beatles fan. Sure, I think they were good in a musical sense, yes I do enjoy most of their music, and I’m not ... read more
