The Beatles - The Making of A Hard Day's Night

Rating:
Summary: Good but disappointing.
Review: Great DVD documentary of the Fabs but was disappointed to find that the song You Can't Do That was not on the disc although it was clearly listed. I'm glad I still have my VHS copy. I hope they get these details right in the future.

Summary: HOP ON BOARD THE BEATLE TRAIN! NEXT STOP, 1964!
Review: I really love this video. As much as I love the Beatles' 1964 classic film and title song, "A Hard Day's Night," I strongly feel this is a video that will delight all, from inveterate Beatles' fans to folks just getting familiar with their music.

In watching this video, one gets the feeling of riding on the early Beatle train, enjoying the natural banter among the world's most famous foursome. One gets treated to some rare film footage and the song, "I'll Cry Instead" is included as a bonus treat as it was not in the original movie, "A Hard Day's Night." Following the Beatles' movements during the early part of 1964 brings all the madcap, pure fun back to the forefront.

I love the way each individual Beatle emerges; the differences in interests, temperament and approach shine through on each song and scene. This is such a treat!

This is truly a classic. In watching this, you will be shaking your bangs, dancing and singing along with the Beatles! YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!

Summary: Great footage of the early Beatles!
Review: It is great to see the Fab 4 in their hotel rooms and on trains and such, just clowning around, mugging for the cameras... But what makes this DVD worth owning is the music. Included are nearly all the Ed Sullivan performances, including of course the first night that Ed introduced the Beatles to America.

What makes this DVD all the better is that it indexes the songs so that you can play just the songs, without all the documentary footage. Of course, you do have to skip ahead to the beginning of each chapter in order to do this, but at least you don't have to fast forward or rewind to get to the next song.

For me, the Ed Sullivan footage alone is worth the price of admission.

Summary: A FUN GLIMPSE BEHIND THE BEATLE CURTAIN
Review: This delightful DVD shows the mechanics involved in creating the Beatles' first movie, the 1964 classic, "A Hard Day's Night." Footage of the Beatles joking around on the train and in their hotel room is included and this makes for a very delightful package indeed. One gets the feeling of riding on the Beatle train, next stop 1964! during the train footage.

Each Beatle has his distinct brand of humor and input and it is just this individuality that makes this such a treat. As much as I enjoy "A Hard Day's Night," I find this an added bonus because one can index the songs as well as follow the Beatles as they prepare for their very first movie.

This movie will have you shaking your bangs, singing Beatle songs and shouting out a hearty YEAH, YEAH, YEAH! Ideal for any Beatle themed shindig. I LOVE IT!
