A Hard Day's Night (1964 - UK)
Stars: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, etc.
Directed by Richard Lester
As the British band The Beatles run away from screaming fans and needs to get to their first concert in London, they encounter Paul's 'grandfather' along the train ride from Liverpool. Several misfits got into them before the show, like Ringo getting caught by the police, Paul's 'grandpa' spending money on a casino in a hotel, 'pathetic' press interviews, backstage actors' weird introductions, a producer who wants the real George Harrison as the perfect lookalike of, well, George Harrison,...and more misfit stuff like that.
Nicely made introductory film for one of the most popular music bands in history, director Lester's first popular film to gain the not-so-critical attention has provided a sort of funny script that will entertain audiences as just a nice popcorn movie whilst still giving us a taste of plenty of their most popular soundtracks along the scenes that seems quite natural to the flow of this black-and-white film. While the one-liners were funny and hilarious, you still can't resist them playing their album tunes like the title itself, If I Fell, Can't Buy Me Love, Should've Known Better, All My Loving, And I Love Her, I'm Happy Just To Dance With You, Tell Me Why, She Loves You, Don't Bother Me, etc., music and movie so good you'd love to dedicate this to someone special. :-)
If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
Cos I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands
If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you would love me more than her
If I trust in you oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too oh please
Don't hurt my pride like her
Cos I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
Cos I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you
