Product Description:
This strikingly original classic captures all the fun excitement and unforgettable music of John Paul George and Ringo at the height of Beatlemania! It's a wildly irreverent day in the life of the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band! As they prepare for a big TV appearance the Beatles perform their songs look for adventure... and try in vain to keep Paul's mischief-making grandfather out of trouble... all while avoiding hordes of screaming fans! Packed with all-time Beatle favorites including 'A Hard Day's Night' 'All My Loving' 'Can't Buy Me Love' 'I Should Have Known Better' 'She Loves You' and 'Tell Me Why' director Richard Lester's groundbreaking motion picture collaboration with the 'Fab Four' is itself a treasured piece of rock history that remains influential to this day! This collector's edition includes 'Give Me Everything!' -- a companion anthology to The Beatles' first film -- featuring hours of rare and new material.System Requirements:Starring George Harrison John Lennon Paul McCartney Ringo Starr Wilfrid BrambellDirected by Richard LesterRunning time: 92 minutesCopyright Buena Vista 2003Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSICALS/MUSICALS Rating: G UPC: 717951004864 Manufacturer No: 01830100
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

Rating:  - Will Miramax and MPI please stop tampering with our memories?
The other night I decided to pull out HDN and watch it for the first time in several years. I have both the MPI and Miramax DVDs so I reached for my good old MPI edition and popped it in. The 1.33:1 aspect ratio always bugged me a bit but I thought "so what" and decided to watch it because I love the opening "I'll Cry Instead" prologue on that version. When the movie got to the "And I Love Her" sequence I started, for the first time, to notice that the mix was different than the video tape I'd seen ... Read More
Rating: - Movie Good / DVD Bad.
I've had this Miramax DVD in my collection since it was released in 2002 but have only just got around to watching it on a decent TV with a 5.1 surround system.
Like many others here I love the movie but am hugely disappointed by this DVD....particularly compared to the job that was done with the recent Help! DVD.
The letterboxing is obviously annoying to some people and it is noticable that things have been cropped however it is not the main problem I have with this release. ... Read More
Rating:  - The Beatle's best movie!
I think this is the boys best movie ever!The storyline is basically what a day in the life of a Beatle is (during Beatlemania). Great songs, they look great (still young and without the long hair) and hilarious!You really get to see each of their personalities. Anyone who loves The Beatles would enjoy this film, young and old.
Rating:  - Don't Buy It !!!
I can't agree more with the past two reviewers. As a 'Beatle Nut', I've always looked (& listened) with intent to find something new with each new release on The Beatles, whether it's audio or video. This GARBAGE that MIRAMAX put out should be taken off the shelves. They've totally ripped their customers off (including me)! With today's technology, it seems they could have sped the audio tracks up to match the 'standard pitch' of the audio cds. Why the audio tracks 'dragged' from the onset of this movie's ... Read More
Rating: - Never gets old
Before there was Truth or Dare-Madonna, there was a Hard Day's Night.Based on the observations of the Beatles real lives with a bit of plot thrown in, this fun little movie has some great lines and wonderful songs.
