Help!
The second Beatles’ feature film is a comedy adventure, which follows the exploits of the group as they attempt to escape the clutches of an evil mysterious cult. Will The Beatles survive being eaten by tigers, being shrunk, gassed, blown up, or kidnapped?
The film was directed by Dick Lester and combines the Beatles’ own sense of humour with antics from a leading cast of actors including Leo McKern, Eleanor Bron, Victor Spinetti and Roy Kinnear.
The film includes a host of classic tracks such as Ticket To Ride, You’re Going To Lose That Girl, and the title track, Help! (These are all featured on the soundtrack album).
Help! has been regarded by many as a parody of contemporary Bond films, complete with power crazy despots, mad inventors, and a caper through exotic locations including the Bahamas and the snowy mountains of Austria. It has also been credited as being the forerunner to contemporary rock musicals and pop videos.

“It's funny in the credits when George yells, '"I Need You" by George Harrison!' However, I think "A Hard Day's Night" is better. It's less random, and the camera stuff is better, plus it is clearer and doesn't have random text saying stuff like 'The exciting adventure of Paul on the floor'.”

Lindt on 10th Jul 10:
“I just watched this! It was so random, but really funny. I had a feeling I'd seen the four-different-doors-but-the-same-house thing somewhere before, and Paul waving heaps, but I can't think where and when.”
