Genre: Musicals Rating: G Release Date: 6-JUL-2004 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com essential video: The Fab Four from Liverpool--John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr--in their first movie. Nobody expected A Hard Day's Night to be much more than a quick exploitation of a passing musical fad, but when the film opened it immediately seduced the world--even the stuffiest critics fell over themselves in praise (highbrow Dwight Macdonald called it "not only a gay, spontaneous, inventive comedy but it is also as good cinema as I have seen for a long time"). Wisely, screenwriter Alun Owen based his script on the Beatles' actual celebrity at the time, catching them in the delirious early rush of Beatlemania: eluding rampaging fans, killing time on trains and in hotels, appearing on a TV broadcast. American director Richard Lester, influenced by the freestyle French New Wave and British Goon Show humor, whips up a delightfully upbeat circus of perpetual motion. From the opening scene of the mop tops rushing through a train station mobbed by fans, the movie rarely stops for air. Some of the songs are straightforwardly presented, but others ("Can't Buy Me Love," set to the foursome gamboling around an empty field) soar with ingenuity. Above all, the Beatles express their irresistible personalities: droll, deadpan, infectiously cheeky. Better examples of pure cinematic joy are few and far between. --Robert Horton Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - LOVE IT!!!I bought this Beatles DVD set for my father for Christmas. He has called me twice telling me how much he enjoys this set. I would highly recommend it to any Beatles fan! Rating:  - HARD to believe- NIGHT and DAYI saw the 1982 re-issue of this film at CARNEGIE HALL's cinema in NYC--the sound on that presentation was HORRENDOUS--screechy and tinny--like a bad DRIVE-IN theatre speaker! This DVD is just a shambles too--similar poor dynamic range,flat,compressed,lifeless ... Read More Rating: - Good enough for me at this price!Good quality film and acceptable sound on the first disc. As for the second disc, the interviews with various tangiential players is for the most part fascinating, above all that with George Martin, although he comes off a bit snobbish. Among other ... Read More Rating: - For Beatles Fans and Lovers of Pop MusicA Hard Day's Night is not a "movie" in the conventional sense. It doesn't really have a plot. It allows viewers to tag along at the height of the Beatles' early popularity and get a real sense of the power and charm of their music. No one had ever had such an ... Read More Rating: - Pure nostalgic joy and dreamlike pleasureWhen you are dealing with a myth you have to look for what was new at the time when that myth appeared. And the Beatles are such a myth. This film reveals the fabric the myth is made of. Pure cinematographic and even photographic silk. The four boys have to be running ...
