During the first worldwide flush of Beatlemania in 1964, United Artists wanted to ship out a movie with The Beatles before their vogue was over. Working within a tight $500,000 budget, director Richard Lester turned out A Hard Day's Night in a fast 6 1/2 weeks; the picture was in the theatres three months after shooting commenced. Using a variety of techniques cribbed from Hollywood slapstick comedies, the French "new wave" movement, and his own experiences as a TV-commercial director, Lester, with screenwriter Alun Owen, fashioned an exhilarating study of a "typical" 36 hours in the lives of the Fab Four. Onto a plot about getting to the Big Show on time are hung a series of instant-reaction gags, character vignettes, and musical setpieces. Much of the humor arises from Paul McCartney's efforts to keep his grandfather (Wilfred Brambell), a "clean old man," from getting into mischief. Also good for several laughs is the hookey-playing Ringo Starr, whose mistimed declaration of independence lands him in jail. We are also treated to a war of nerves between the unflappable John Lennon and an uptight TV director (Victor Spinelli), who worries that, should the Beatles not show up at broadcast time, he'll be demoted to "News In Welsh." George Harrison stars in a sequence in which he is mistaken for an auditionee by the producer (Kenneth Haigh) of a superficially trendy, teen-oriented TV weekly. Then there's Norman Rossington and John Junkin as The Beatles' managers, who carry on a battle royale simply because one man is taller than the other. The supporting cast includes comedienne Anna Quayle, cartoonist Bob Godfrey, TV host Robin Ray, dancer Lionel Blair, Harrison's future wife Patti Boyd, and director Lester himself. The songs include "I Should Have Known Better," "And I Love Her," "Tell Me Why," "If I Fell," "Can't Buy Me Love," and the title song.

It's a blessing to Beatles fans that someone had the foresight to capture them on film in the midst of the first flash of Beatlemania. Was A Hard Day's Night an accurate picture of 36 hours in the life of the Fab Four? Probably not, though one can only hope for their sake that it was this much fun. The dry, cheeky wit of Alun Owen's screenplay may have been a bit tart for teens, but it's still smart and funny, and if the Beatles weren't all great actors (John Lennon and Ringo Starr come off well, but George Harrison often reveals why he was a guitar player and not a thespian), Owen cleverly allowed them to play to their strengths: John's charming snideness, Ringo's loveable sad-sack persona, Paul McCartney's cute cool guy routine, and George's quiet, no-nonsense attitude. The supporting cast blends in perfectly (no small feat with four strong personalities in the lead), and Richard Lester's sharp, inventive visual style was the perfect match for The Beatles' music: fresh, smart without being pretentious, brash in just the right ways, and an awful lot of fun. A Hard Day's Night has aged as well as the Beatles' music from the same period: timeless yet inescapably a product of its era.
