Dir: Richard Lester
1964
**
I like the Beatles (prefer The Rolling Stones) but I think you have to be a hard core fan to enjoy this one. It is, for the best part, quite frankly awful. I never thought I'd feel sorry for old Wilfrid Brambell but he doesn't deserve the abuse he gets here (*edit - maybe he did after all!). It's not very funny, there are maybe one or two good lines but it's fairly stupid for the rest of it. Very of its time and a little dated, give me Les Bicyclettes De Belsize over this any day of the week. It's really just a long music video, with a little insight into the cheeky lives of the Fab four, very much for their young fans of the time.
