Review of The Beatles 1965 film HELP! (linked) in the 60s Retrospective Series. This one’s even more comprehensive than my review of A Hard Day’s Night.

Review of Ron Howard’s film Eight Days A Week (linked), a superb documentary on The Beatles touring years, with an additional 30 minute film of Shea Stadium 15th August 1965. Lots of thoughts on my own early fascination with The Beatles.
