Opened in movie theaters 59 years ago today:
A HARD DAY’S NIGHT (The Beatles, Wilfrid Brambell; directed by Richard Lester)
Review: “Many critics attended the movie and prepared to condescend, but the movie could not be dismissed: It was so joyous and original that even the early reviews acknowledged it as something special. After more than three decades, it has not aged and is not dated; it stands outside its time, its genre and even rock. It is one of the great life-affirming landmarks of the movies.” —Roger Ebert, 1996
Trivia: [A] James Bond connection is the song, “This Boy” (a.k.a. “Ringo’s Theme”), an instrumental version of which was used in the film to accompany Ringo Starr’s solo scene. The guitarist was Vic Flick, who previously played on “The James Bond Theme” from Dr. No. —imdb.com
