A HARD DAY'S NIGHT
d: Richard Lester, 1964

J.B. had not seen this, ever, and V.G. and I hadn't seen it in a while.

A HARD DAY'S NIGHT is, of course, the story of an obscure pop band struggling to make the big time in an uncaring England which takes no notice of them.

Their dreams are ultimately dashed by the harsh realities of the music industry. In the end, their popularity is so low that girls scream and run at the sight of them.

Ironically, several of the lead players went on to attempt music careers in real life.
