The Beatles Films Podcast covering an actual Beatles film! It'll never catch on. For our season one finale (yes, we're calling it that) it's a two-parter on Richard Lester's 1965 film, derided in some quarters and compared unfavourably to A Hard Day's Night.
But ah, the songs. In part 1: how are the songs treated, how are they staged and how do they fit into the film? What's interesting about the score? Was this the beginning of the music video?
