A Hard day's Night (film)

A Hard day's Night is a 1964 British film directed by Richard Lester starring the British pop group The Beatles consisting of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

The title of the movie is based on an expression of the Beatles drummer, Ringo Starr. Starr had a habit of self expressions to invent and to mess up the language. After a hard day's work he came spontaneously with the cry, "it's been a hard day's night" (it was a hard day night).

The film is partly documentary, part mockumentary. Because of the original plot and its inventive camera work, which for its time very modern and exciting was A Hard day's Night, was the first rock movie that also got good reviews from film critics. Nowadays the film a cult film for Beatle-fans and a measure of all pop and rock movies that were subsequently made. The film was a massive hit in movie theaters and brought in the us for around 6.1 million dollars in the first year.

Ringo tries while away the hours with a good book, but getting equal attention by the grandfather of Paul. The old man is a real troublemaker, he convinces Ringo that he outward to real life to appreciate instead of reading.

Epstein saw the deal as a good way to promote and sell their music to The Beatles. United Artists was interested in the money would enter through the sale of music albums. The Beatles in the United States were signed to Capitol Records, but that agreement music of albums. The studio knew that selling the album always would bring money, even if the film would flop, so it was seen the movie deal with The Beatles as a contract by which one could not lose. On the other hand was the deal that United Artists with Epstein closed little beneficial for The Beatles. Epstein was not a good negotiator and an amateur in many financial affairs. While The Beatles were at that time not yet at their peak in terms of popularity (certainly not in the US), but also within that context, it was a disappointing contract. ===A disappointing agreement<span class="mw-editsection" len="368" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">United Artists was not going to spend more than $ 500,000 to the film, which meant that the four group members would get a lean payroll. The negotiators decided to gild this pill to The Beatles to give a percentage of the profit. But no more than 25%. Since one was expecting little of the movie, that was a risk that one could take easily. However, the negotiators of the studio got by that Epstein knew nothing of the film world. So they tried to negotiate a lower rate. Epstein was told that one was willing to pay $ 25,000 and The Beatles that Epstein had to share in the profits but the proposals. Epstein wanted to not be common and said that he could go no lower than dapper 7.5% of profit. He sounded tough but in reality had no idea of percentages. The studio bosses by United Artists could their luck, they were been afraid for hard negotiations and perhaps came to more than 25% and now Epstein with the ridiculous 7.5 percent. They closed a deal for three films. Not long after the popularity of The Beatles shot through the roof (also in the US) and Richard Lester made of A Hard day's Night one of the most successful films of all time. The Beatles began not only millions in revenue. They were also stuck to a financially disappointing film contract that if a millstone around their necks would go hang. ===Carte blanche<span class="mw-editsection" len="349" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Now the deal was closed wanted United Artists make the movie as cheaply as possible. The England-based American director Richard Lester was attracted. Lester was known for his direction of The Goon Show, a forerunner of Monty Python's Flying Circus whose humor The Beatles very attracted. Lester got from the studio to hear that he had carte blanche, as long as he would make the film within a few weeks, within the stated budget. The studio bosses did not need to see no scenario. The only thing they wanted was a movie, what songs and the sound of the ringing cash register. So Lester went looking for a screenwriter, which he would bring together with The Beatles. There was for him something vaags eyes of a film about a day in the life of the famous group from Liverpool. A film that would come to be called Beatlemania . ==Scenario<span class="mw-editsection" len="344" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == Read warning: text below contains details about the content and/or the end of the story.===Liverpudliaanse dialogues<span class="mw-editsection" len="360" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">As a scriptwriter Alun Owen was attracted. This had a television screenplay written, No Trams to Lime Street (1959), that played in Liverpool and in which typical humor from the city was processed and the accent of Liverpool was used.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1" len="177" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [1]  Owen prepared for by a number of days with the group to pull up. He would later use in the typical expressions of the four scenario. The life of The Beatles (the group name is called in the film, incidentally, nowhere) formed the inspiration of Owen. He saw that John, Paul, George and Ringo from hotel room to hotel room were driven, with the only interruption a performance in a hall full of screaming fans or the recordings in the studio. In short, they were prisoners of their own fame.

Owen wrote a scenario in which he put down in four stereotypes: The Beatles John Lennon was the "sarcastic" nice one "the" charming wiseacre, Paul, George and Ringo the "quiet and modest benjamin" playing God "the stupid". Everyone was agreed that it was a brilliant scenario, but unusable. Richard Lester understood immediately that he could direct the four Beatles never so that they are kept exactly to the scenario; It would also be theatrical. The scenario would, in particular, serve as a vehicle for the Liverpudlian dialogues of the four group members. ===Design of the scenario<span class="mw-editsection" len="358" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Owen followed The Beatles during their tour of France. The stay at the hotel rooms, the screaming fans, the car rides, the performances and the studio recordings of the group, were all elements who returned in the scenario. The idea was that The Beatles would travel to London for the recording of a TV show.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The common thread was the grandfather of Paul, a false old male that constantly is a firing between the group members and wants to make money to photos with signatures of the four Beatles. Wilfrid Brambell was chosen for this role. Brambell was fifty, but could look like seventy-five. He was in England has become famous as the junk dealers Steptoe in the British television series Steptoe and Son<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2" len="177" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[2]  one of the recurring jokes from the show was that the son against Steptoe (Brambell) said, "you dirty old man" (what are you still a dirty old man). In the film says everyone against the grandfather (Brambell), "what a clean man" (what a clean, neat man). In the film the grandfather has Irish roots. He says he is a soldier of the Republic, a reference to the IRA. Many Irish people emigrated from Ireland to Liverpool.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The four Beatles each have a private scene in the movie. John meets a woman, Minnie, who thinks they can come to recognize him but not on his name. George gets into the Office of a marketing manager and is responsible for the almost upset by his ideas about youth marketing, while Ringo on adventure goes along the Thames. The scene was cut from the film that Paul would get. He had to be a Shakespeare-playing actress (Isla Blair) criticize because of her theatrical style. The scene proved too slow and took out the speed from the movie.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Owen was also responsible for the creation of Standard and Shake. Standard was the manager of The Beatles that has a love-hate-relationship with the rebellious John Lennon. Shake was the road manager and his character was based on the real road managers of The Beatles, Neil Aspinall and Mal Evans. Apart from the Liverpudlian accent used Owen also phrases and words from Liverpool. One of those words was ' grotty ' derived from ' grotesque '. The Beatles knew this word not and suspects there of the self to have figured out Owen.<sup class="noprint nopopups" len="309" style="line-height:1;"> [source?] ===Title<span class="mw-editsection" len="342" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">During the shoot of the film remained the working title The Beatles 1 and sometimes Beatlemania. From the US insisted on a United Artists movie title so that one the PR machine could start. Finally came the redemption of Ringo. The drummer of The Beatles had a habit of to mess up the English language and to create expressions that did not exist. This malaprop ISMS by Ringo were called "Ringo-isms"; a well-known example is "Eight days a week". Another Ringo-ism was: "a hard day's night". Ringo used this expression when he returned home after a hard day's work, he started by saying, "it's been a hard day.." then saw that it was dark, and added to it.. "night! ". John Lennon, with his ear for the British language, used the phrase in his book In His Own Write (1964). According to Lennon was the Richard Lester who proposed to use the expression of Lennon Ringo when she returned home after a day on the film set reason.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3" len="177" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [3]  according to Paul McCartney were The Beatles themselves come with the title.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4" len="177" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [4]  during a small Brainstorming to come up with a movie title, they remembered the expression of Ringo. Producer Walter Shenson claims he feeling the title of John Lennon and Richard Lester and handed it over to United Artists without comment.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-5" len="177" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [5]  there it was with some disbelief responded. When, however, showed that the Secretaries and younger employees enthusiastically responded, "A Hard day's Night" was the title. ==Production<span class="mw-editsection" len="346" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == Read warning: text below contains details about the content and/or the end of the story.===Recordings<span class="mw-editsection" len="344" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Richard Lester had been given almost carte blanche for the film. There were some boundary conditions. The budget should not exceed the limit of $ 500,000 and the film had to go in early July 1964 premiere. Since it was already almost March, Lester had barely time for the shots, because there would be also added post production should take place. Color was too expensive and so shot Lester the film in black and white, in a period of just seven weeks. The total production took 16 weeks to complete. It was filmed in chronological order and with a lot of improvisation because the four Beatles could muster little discipline to learn the lyrics.

===Improvisation<span class="mw-editsection" len="349" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The film depended on improvisations to each other. It started with The Beatles themselves who were not members of the Trade Union, actors Equity. On the morning of March 2, 1964, just before the shooting started, this was only settled. Lester left the Beatles improvise their lyrics, which had led to delays. In the scene where John the tailor's cutting tactically the measuring tape he had to say: "I now declare this bridge, open!" (I declare this bridge for open) But John kept saying something else, "I declare this synagogue, open", (I declare this synagogue for opened) or "I declare this Fish and Chips stand open" (I declare these fries tent for open).

Also the tailor was an improvisation; It was the real tailor of the Beatles. Director Lester also made use of real horde fans for the opening scenes. When one of his assistants with film cans full of recorded material ran away from the scene, was also this guy chased by a horde of screaming girls. He panicked and lost half of the recorded film material.<sup class="noprint nopopups" len="309" style="line-height:1;"> [source?]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The fans continued to plague and forced Lester to carefully choose locations (which also quickly changed to stay ahead of the fans). The scene with the press conference was quickly improvised for the Scala Theatre and was recorded before the fans got wind of. Sometimes an improvisation from an accident. George Harrison also attacked at the opening scene at a camera and ripped his jacket. Lester showed this incident in the film. Another example is the sad expression on the face of Ringo at his solo trip. This was no acting, but the result of a heavy hangover.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Also the other actors improvised. Victor Spinetti that took the television director played his own woolen sweater with it. It was a Christmas present that he had found horrible, but it fitted well with his character. He later donated the garment without much remorse to the Beatles fan club. The only one not improvised was Wilfrid Brambell. The actor was always strictly to his text, also in this movie.<sup class="noprint nopopups" len="309" style="line-height:1;"> [source?]

He was awarded an Oscar nomination. The Beatles were not nominated. The title track "A Hard day's Night" was written by Lennon and McCartney in one night. The reason for the haste was that the film actually had already finished. Since during the recordings was not yet known how the film would welcome, no one had thought to a title number. It was John who came up with the excited agreement with which the film and the title song starts.
