In 1964 the biggest band on the planet made their big screen debut
with A Hard Day's Night, a groundbreaking film that presented a
'typical' day in the life of The Fab Four as they tried to outrun
screaming fans, find Paul's mischievous grandfather, deal with a
stressed TV producer and make it to the show on time. Directed with
unrelenting verve by Richard Lester, whose innovative techniques paved
the way for generations of music videos, the film's frenetic mix of
comic escapades, legendary one-liners and pop perfection captured a
moment in time that defined a generation. The most iconic band in music
history had arrived.
