"A Hard Day's Night" captured Beatlemania as it was happening, and more than four decades later, it remains a peerlessly zesty rock 'n' roll fable. Director Richard Lester's jump cuts now seem exhilarating as Jean-Luc Godard's, John Lennon's wisecracks as well timed as Groucho Marx's. Yet this original Fab Four movie is innocent in a way no other later rock 'n' roll film could be, and much of the credit must go to the thousands of screaming teenage girls in the audience--the ones who's lips form such magical words as "John!" and "Paul!" and "George!" and "Ringo!" while tears stream down their cheeks. When Lennon and McCartney shake their mop tops in unison after the line "She loves you, and you know you should be glad!" it sends the audience into hyperspace. Watching these Liverpool Lads get their first taste of audience frenzy, you understand why the '60s had to happen.

A Hard Day's Night is a comedy, not a documentary, but the characters the Beatles play are themselves, and the success that they both enjoy and flee from is quite real. Their cheeky, clever personalities shine through the stage lighting and camera flashes. They rise above the trappings of stardom as much as they rose above the streets of London to give their final impromptu performance in the winter of 1969 on the rooftop of Apple Records. There may never be a time when someone won't find an excuse to make yet another film or write another book about the Beatles — The Beatles Anthology multimedia onslaught (television documentary, eight-piece video collection, three-volume CD, and a giant photo-filled book), and last week's TV movie on Lennon's early life are only the most recent evidence of their ongoing popularity. Although it's doubtful there'll be droves of screaming fans at the theatrical re-release of A Hard Day's Night — as were when the film premiered in London on July 6, 1964 — it remains a must-see for any Beatles fan, anyone who enjoys intelligent comedy, or anyone interested in seeing a moment of history caught poignantly on celluloid. No matter what your opinion of the Beatles may be, you cannot doubt that they passed the audition.

These scripts are in their original standard screenplay format as typed by the writer or the studio-- none of the scripts that we offer is ever incorrectly formatted on the page. Signatures are preprints taken from our inventory of original signatures. All scripts are industry standard and preprinted on 8.5x11" paper, 3-hole punch, and bound by three brass brads.

All scripts offered are of various drafts (from early to later shooting drafts-please check the draft information above). Scripts vary from slightly different-to-major differences from the final movie. These changes are normal and certain movies may have dozens of different drafts and several writers.

Also, some scripts may be slightly light in type or have darker inserted pages (produced from color shooting pages). It is not unusual to have some missing pages from the older scripts. We are careful to note the draft, writer differences from the final credited movie, missing pages, and original typed quality. We do not list any scene, name, or character changes, or any editing differences of the script vs. the final movie.
