Product Description

In 1964, the Beatles had just recently exploded onto the American scene with their debut on "The Ed Sullivan Show." The group's first feature, the Academy Award-nominated "A Hard Day's Night," offered fans their first peek into a day in the life of the Beatles and served to establish the Fab Four on the silver screen, as well as to inspire the music video format. Songs: I'll Cry Instead, A Hard Day's Night, I Should've Known Better, Can't Buy Me Love, If I Fell, And I Love Her, I'm Happy Just to Dance with You, Ringo's Theme (This Boy), Tell Me Why, Don't Bother Me, I Wanna Be Your Man, All My Lovin', She Loves You. Additional Features None of the remaining Beatles participated in the DVD supplements for A Hard Day's Night, but you get an abundance of the next best thing. The film's surviving cast and crew members were assembled for an extensive series of retrospective interviews, resulting in a totally fab tapestry of detailed reminiscence. Virtually all of the major and minor players are included, from director Richard Lester and musical director George Martin, to publicists, Beatles' friends, and key offscreen personnel. The result is a vivid portrait of British film production in the early '60s, placing A Hard Day's Night in rich context to further appreciate its groundbreaking audacity. Particularly amusing are vintage clips from the Brit-com Steptoe and Son in a tribute to character actor Wilfrid Brambell (a.k.a. Paul's "very clean" grandfather), and a Ringo remembrance by actor David Janson (from the film's memorable "Ringo's Theme" sequence). Best of all is an interview with Klaus Voorman, whose connection with the Beatles goes back to Hamburg in the early '60s (pre-Beatlemania), and whose affectionate, still-vivid memories add a wonderful touch of intimate nostalgia. Arguably, these and other interviews create a more fan-friendly portrait than the Beatles could've provided. With extensive DVD-ROM features including Alun Owen's original first-draft screenplay and an extensive Web site archive, the Hard Day's Night DVD is definitely not grotty! --Jeff Shannon Special features Digitally Restored Soundtrack "Things They Said Today..." - New Promotional Special "Their Production Will Be Second to None" Interviews With The Filmmakers "With the Beatles" - Cast "Working Like a Dog" - The Production Crew "Busy Working Overtime" - Post Production Crew "Listen to the Music Playing in Your Head" - Sir George Martin On The HDN Songs "Such a Clean Old Man!" - Memories Of Wilfrid Brambell "I've Lost My Little Girl" - Isla Blair Interview "Taking Testimonial Pictures" - Robert Freeman Interview "Dressed to the Hilt" - Gordon Millings Interview "Dealing with 'The Men from the Press'" - Tony Barrow Interview "They and I Have Memories" - Klaus Voorman Interview "Hitting the Big Time in the USA" - Sid Bernstein Interview DVD-ROM FEATURES include: Screenplay Viewer, Reproduction of the Entire First Draft of the Screenplay, A Hard Day's Night Scrapbook, Roundtable Discussions, Web Access

Was surprised when I recently noticed that I didn't own a copy of Hard Days Night. That was easily rectified by purchasing this! I could watch this once a year and I probably will now.

Miramax release far more authentic than MPI video we're used to

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2012

Verified Purchase

I recently received the Blu-Ray, but this review applies equally to the Miramax DVD of "A Hard Day's Night." (In fact, the Blu-Ray is made from a video transfer of the DVD, as opposed to an original film source, and so preserves the digital "jutter" that comes with transferring film to video. If you have the DVD, it is truly not worth the investment to upgrade to Blu-Ray.)

As to the film itself, I would like to address the sound issues discussed by previous reviewers. Yes, in an age where we are all used to hearing the digital upgrades to the studio recordings on modern sound equipment, the sound will seem muddy. When a source close to the project said "blame Apple," he meant that the Beatles' licensing company had insisted that, from now on, the soundtrack must be authentic. The 5.1 soundtrack on the DVD and Blu-Ray does modify the sound (and previous calls for an alternate original mono track should be heeded), but is made entirely from the original film track. When songs begin, the sound is moved off of the center channel and out to the left and right channels. A very slight delay is added to the rear channels to provide a sense of depth, but it does not come off as added echo. (The reverb added to "Tell Me Why" was also on the original soundtrack album - along with a good deal of left to right panning!) Basically, the tracks remain in their original mono, and, more importantly, in their original movie mixes.

Aside from the obvious single-tracking of Paul's vocal on "And I Love Her" and John's in the intro to "If I Fell" (which, by no intent of the Beatles, became the mixes used on the U.S. single of those two songs), there are other, more subtle changes in the mixes made to accommodate the film. (Guitars are brought forward when the camera is on them, the drums when it moves in on Ringo, and so on.) There are also sound effects which were lost when stereo versions were substituted (such as when John knocks over the music stand during "And I Love Her.")

In short, the sound may not be up to the albums we listen to at home, but it is what we heard in theaters in 1964 (if we could hear it at all over the screaming!)

As to the picture, the widescreen video does cut off a small bit of the top and bottom of the picture we saw on the VHS tape, while showing a silght bit more on the sides. It should be remembered, though, that the film was shot and framed for widescreen viewing. (Note how the credits are placed far from the top and bottom of the screen. There is also no feeling of cut-off heads or action missed offscreen.) Widescreen was the norm in theaters in 1964, and most theatrical prints were made to accommodate them. We did not watch a square picture in theaters when we saw the film in 1964 - we watched the Beatles explode across the wide screen! The square picture on the MPI VHS version was a nice accommodation for square TV's, but the widescreen on the current release is far closer to the original presentation. And plugging in the stereo versions of the songs may have been a sonic upgrade, it was a move away from what the producer created.

I wish that the Blu-Ray had been an actual 24/fps transfer from a film source, and I wish that an alternate "true mono" soundtrack had been provided - but all in all, it's an excellent presentation the original film in its original form. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

A funny and enjoyable film

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2023

As a child, I first was introduced to The Beatles at a young age. Now as an adult, I am getting more into their work and films as I am a writer/editor and research assistant for a Beatles podcast. A Hard Day's Night is what really made me become a fan of these four lads from Liverpool.

A Hard Day's Night is unlike any film I've seen before. The film follows the Fab Four over the course of 36 hours as they're trying to make it to a televised appearance and a series of mishaps occurs along the way, mostly pertaining to Paul's grandfather, which adds an extra level of comedic elements to it. So much so, I couldn't stop laughing throughout.

Its a great film to watch if you're in need of something that has a light-hearted feel to it. A word to the wise: its even more hilarious in reverse at some points.

Review of 1080p Blu-Ray Hard Day's Night Plays in US version marked just "Region B" UPC 9344256010514 A quality experience

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

NOTE: Previous to buying this Blu-Ray I had the Miramax deluxe boxed set (ASIN: B0000542D2) which I paid a good chunk of change for back in 2002 and it was (still is) a quite decent experience.

2014 release BLU-RAY VIDEO QUALITY: When I played the Blu-Ray, ** at first ** I didn't see any "immediate" earth shattering difference. Then, a few minutes in, I start noticing things. John Lennon's left sideburn in the early train car sequence is not trimmed evenly. The eye pupils refocusing on the stuffy old man passenger's face as he processes feeling hurt / indignant ruffled after our Beatle heroes leave the car after toying with him. I can make out the lettering on Ringo's radio. I notice the Pepsi-Cola logo on a pop bottle. I notice the upholstery pattern in the train seat. I notice the fabric pattern in Paul's suit. The lines in certain actors faces, groups of combed hairs in the Beatles and other actors, etc. The "Ramirez" guitar logo inside George's acoustic guitar. The pocket watch on Victor Spinetti's video desk, etc. These are all subtleties and they may be visually there in the older DVD but for the first time I ** noticed ** them and I believe it's the extra detail of the Blu-Ray that makes this possible. It adds to realism and my enjoyment of the movie.

AUDIO QUALITY: I can't say that I notice any major difference in the audio quality compared to the 2002 Miramax DVD which also had good audio.

SUMMARY: If you are a dyed-in-the-wool Beatle fan and can afford to re-buy this, yeah it's worth it. I watch this particular movie probably once a year or two anyway and I do replay scenes that I like. That being said dear Beatle fans: You are not suffering if you have the old 2002 Miramax DVD version, the story will still be told and enjoyed, but the video on this is a notch maybe two notches better - in the realm of fine detail and subtleties.

Techno stuff: I have 60" LG Plasma 1080p screen and $300 Sony Blu-Ray player, Pioneer 7.1 receiver. NOTE: I see mention on Amazon that the B2 version wont play in US. I can't speak to that. What I can tell you for sure is: 1. I live in the U.S. 2. My copy says it's "Region B" and the UPC on my copy that plays in the US on US region equipment is: UPC 9344256010514 Edition is listed as Umbrella Entertainment (umbrellaent.com.au) Full HD 1080.

What I don't get: Why does it have an "M" (Mature) audiences rating for "Low level coarse language". I mean there is nothing tamer or squeaky clean by today's standards than this movie.

P.S. 2 of my favorite moments: "That's dead grotty!" "I'll bet you're a good swimmer!"

The best customer service I have experienced in years! When I ordered the movie I didn't realize that it would not work in my machine. I contacted customer service about returning the movie . They reach out to me the next day with a suggestion to try it in my computer. It worked! You will not believe how much this meant to my husband. He was ecstatic. Love the movie, excellent quality and again excellent customer service. I'm keeping the movie.
