Beatles a Hard Day's Night

About the Item

In March of 1964 director Richard Lester began shooting A Hard Day's Night, a black-and-white feature film starring the Beatles. With slapstick humor and a fantastic soundtrack, the movie imagines the excitement and chaos of thirty-six hours in the life of the Fab Four, and stars John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, with Wilfrid Brambell portraying McCartney's grandfather. The Making of A Hard Day's Night is a collection of photographs and rare ephemera that documents the band on set and behind the scenes. This private archive captures the infectious energy and anarchic spirit of this groundbreaking film. An authoritative essay and lively captions by Beatles’ historian Mark Lewisohn provide context and explores its impact and enduring legacy. As featured in Associated Press, Guitar Aficionado, The Mail on Sunday, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, The New York Times, Parade, Print Magazine, and on AnOther, Buzzfeed, and Goop; as heard on the Associated Press podcast "Features a trove of previously unseen publicity stills... as well as collected ephemera from their ascent to the global cultural pantheon... The book's images capture the linear action, as well as behind-the-scenes moments that will excite any Beatles fan."—The New York Times Lens Blog "A stunning new book spills the secrets of A Hard Day's Night."—The Mail on Sunday "Yeah, yeah, yeah!
