The opening of A Hard Day's Night directed by Richard Lester
The opening scene of A Hard Day's Night (1964) shows the incredible success of The Beatles in just over a year. The crowds of girls chasing the band around Victoria Station in London are real. Everywhere the band goes there are similar scenes.
The film creates imaginary lives for the four young men. Paul, for example, has an eccentric grandfather. Ringo is the lovable funny one.
