The Beatles-Help! (1965)
Mild violence and drug references
| Director: | Richard Lester |
| Actors: | John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr |
Directed by Richard Lester, who also directed the band's debut feature film 'A Hard Days Night', 'Help!' made its theatrical debut in 1965. The story follows The Beatles as they become passive recipients of an outside plot that revolves around Ringo's possession of a sacrificial ring, which he cannot remove from his finger. As a result, he and his bandmates John, Paul and George are chased from London to the Austrian Alps and the Bahamas by religious cult members, a mad scientist and the London police. In addition to starring the Beatles, 'Help!' has a witty script, a great cast of British character actors and features 7 classic Beatles tracks.

The video restoration of this I had expected more, and the sound for the music was nice and crisp (as opposed to the flat dialogue. As for entertainment, it's no Hard Days Night but good light viewing.
