Show Notes

By the summer of 1964 The Beatles had conquered the world. Hot on the heels of their first visit to America, they were back at work. But not in the recording studio. This time it was the film studio, to make their first feature film ‘A Hard Day’s Night’.

 

Back in the 60’s pop acts were fair game for feature films. Be it a cameo appearance or some convoluted storyline. ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ broke new ground with a story based around 24 hours in the life of John, Paul, George and Ringo.

 

However, the financial reasons why the film was made go deeper than box office takings. In this episode of Fixing A Hole we take a look at the ‘BIGGER PICTURE’ as to why United Artists made the movie.
 
If you’re a fan of the podcast we’d love to hear from you.
