Nominated for two Academy Awards and featuring the Beatles in their film debut. The year is 1964 and four young lads from Liverpool are about to change the world – if only the madcap world will let them out of their hotel room. The film follows “a day in the life” of John, Paul, and Ringo as fame takes them by storm. On their way from Liverpool to a London television stage, they must evade a teenage mob, outwit a press conference, answer fan mail and give one of their trademark, faint-introducing performances. While the year 2000 finds us in sophisticated sci-fi and special effect type flicks, this one manages to maintain its quick, witty and charming approach to being a classic.
