HELP! (1965) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Richard Lester

Written by - Marc Behm, Charles Wood

Starring - Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison

"Whereas A Hard Day’s Night was a wonderfully entertaining and influential film, the Beatles’ second outing is more or less unwatcheable, though needless to say, the music is excellent. The plot is laughable, as Ringo gets the boys into trouble by buying a ring, unaware that it is a sacred one for some religious cult. And while the Beatles seem to be natural born actors with their colourful charismatic personalities coming alive on the big screen, it’s not enough."
