== Plot ==
<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, the plot summary should be 400-700 words. -->
The four Beatles evade a horde of fans while boarding a train for London to film a televised [[variety show]] concert. En route, they meet [[Paul McCartney]]'s trouble-making Irish grandfather John. The band entertains some schoolgirls and plays cards with their manager Norm and road manager Shake before arriving in London. They are quickly driven from the station to a hotel and begin to feel confined. Norm brings each Beatle a pile of [[fan mail]] and tasks them with answering each letter, but they sneak out to party. Norm and Shake catch them and order them back to the room, where they find out that Paul's grandfather has gone to a gambling club using an invitation sent to Ringo; they track him down and bring him back to the hotel.
The next day, the Beatles arrive at a TV studio for rehearsals. The television producer assumes bad faith in them due to something Paul's grandfather said. After a mundane cocktail reception where the group tease reporters with comic and evasive answers to interview questions, they leave through a fire escape and cavort in a field until forced off by its caretaker. Back in the studio, they are separated when a woman thinks she recognizes [[John Lennon]] but cannot recall who he is. [[George Harrison]] is mistaken for an actor, dragged into an advertising agent's office, and auditioned for a clothing advertisement, but offends the agent by calling the shirts he is presented with "grotesque". The band returns to rehearse a second song and, after a quick trip to makeup, smoothly goes through a third before earning a break.
An hour before the final run-through, [[Ringo Starr]] is cajoled into chaperoning Paul's grandfather to the studio canteen for tea. He takes issue with [[Anatomy of a Murder|a book]] Ringo is reading and manipulates him into going out "parading" to experience life rather than reading about it in books. Ringo tries to have a quiet drink in a pub, takes pictures, walks alongside the [[River Thames]], and rides a bicycle along a railway station platform.{{Efn-la|This scene was filmed at {{rws|Crowcombe Heathfield}} on the [[West Somerset Railway]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.west-somerset-railway.co.uk/Crowcombe_Heathfield.html |title=Crowcombe Heathfield |access-date=3 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080513171103/http://www.west-somerset-railway.co.uk/Crowcombe_Heathfield.html |archive-date=13 May 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref>}} After being ejected from the pub for nearly injuring a parrot with a [[Darts|dart]] and accidentally causing a woman to fall into a newly dug hole at a construction site, Ringo is apprehended by a policeman. He is shortly joined by Paul's grandfather, who had triggered a ruckus attempting to sell Beatles photos with autographs he had forged. The grandfather antagonizes the policemen at the station before running back to the studio to tell the others about Ringo. Norm sends the other three Beatles to retrieve him, which leads to a [[Keystone Cops]]-style foot chase. Arriving back at the studio with only minutes to spare before airtime, the Beatles deliver a smashing performance to an audience of screaming, delirious fans. Immediately afterwards, a helicopter whisks the group away toward a "midnight matinée" engagement in [[Wolverhampton]]. Paul tosses the forged autographs out of the helicopter as it takes off.

* Side A
# "I Should Have Known Better"
# "If I Fell"
* Side B
# "Tell Me Why"
# "And I Love Her"
=== Song notes ===
* "[[I'll Cry Instead]]" was among several songs considered for the film but ultimately not included either as an on-camera performance or for usage as an audio-only track. It was to be used during the police chase sequence, but ultimately director Richard Lester vetoed it in favor of the more lyrically upbeat "Can't Buy Me Love". Its status as an early contender for inclusion led to the song being included on the US soundtrack album plus the mono “Something New” LP and Capitol 45. The song was recorded in two sections and was going to be featured in two parts with the break being when the Beatles return to the police station to catch their breath. The unique full-length version, which has a repeat of the first verse, was mixed as a rough mono mix and sent to United Artists and Capitol Records in North America. This “lost” section wasn’t just an edit of the beginning of the song but a separate take (second “section” of the two part recording). Eventually, the final mono and stereo mixes edit out this repeat of the first verse.
* In the 1982 US theatrical reissue of the film by Universal Pictures, under licence from [[Walter Shenson]], the song "I'll Cry Instead" was used as the audio track for a prologue sequence to the film which consisted of stills from the film and publicity photographs as a tribute to Lennon consisting of a [[Swinging Sixties]]-style collage of photos of the Beatles in 1964 around the time they were shooting the film. The prologue was assembled without the involvement or knowledge of the film's director Richard Lester, who subsequently expressed his disapproval of the addition.<ref name="Morton">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=58-V1IvsX8UC|title=A Hard Day's Night|last=Morton|first=Ray|publisher=Limelight Editions|year=2011|isbn=978-0-87910-388-0|location=Milwaukee WI|access-date=15 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161223113254/https://books.google.com/books?id=58-V1IvsX8UC&printsec=frontcover|archive-date=23 December 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>{{rp|pp.119–120}} The prologue was not included on the 2000 restoration of the film.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/dvdcompare2/harddaysnight.htm|title=A Hard Day's Night (aka "Beatles No. 1" )|publisher=dvdbeaver.com|access-date=9 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120424232449/http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/dvdcompare2/harddaysnight.htm|archive-date=24 April 2012|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite book| last=Harry| first=Bill| year=1994| author-link=Bill Harry| title=The Ultimate Beatles Encyclopedia|page=322}}</ref>
* The song "[[You Can't Do That]]" was filmed as part of the film's TV concert sequence but was not included in the final cut of the film. At a point before a decision had been made to excise the song from the film, footage of that performance had been sent by the filmmakers and Brian Epstein to be aired on ''The Ed Sullivan Show'' as a tease to promote the forthcoming release of the film. The clip aired on the Sullivan show on Sunday, 24 May 1964 in conjunction with an interview with The Beatles specially filmed by Sullivan in London.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UwvYhxcBr5oC|title=Way Beyond Compare: The Beatles' Recorded Legacy, Volume One, 1957–1965|last=Winn|first=John C.|publisher=Three Rivers Press|year=2008|location=New York|pages=166|isbn=9780307452382|access-date=15 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140405003203/http://books.google.com/books?id=UwvYhxcBr5oC&printsec=frontcover|archive-date=5 April 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> An extract of the footage of the song performance was included in the 1994 documentary ''The Making of "A Hard Day's Night"''.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Russell|first=Deborah|date=21 January 1995|title=PBS Special Examines Beatles' Film|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uAsEAAAAMBAJ&q=a%20hard%20day's%20night%20you%20can't%20do%20that&pg=PA8|magazine=Billboard|access-date=9 September 2012|archive-date=21 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210521080334/https://books.google.com/books?id=uAsEAAAAMBAJ&q=a+hard+day%27s+night+you+can%27t+do+that&pg=PA8|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Screenplay ==
The screenplay was written by [[Alun Owen]], who was chosen because the Beatles were familiar with his play ''[[No Trams to Lime Street]]'', and he had shown an aptitude for writing in the group's native [[Scouse|Scouse dialect]]. McCartney commented, "Alun hung around with us and was careful to try and put words in our mouths that he might've heard us speak, so I thought he did a very good script."<ref name="HardDaysNightFilmSummary">{{cite web |url=http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~ms538596/ahdn.html |title=A Hard Day's Night Film Summary and comments from The Beatles |access-date=27 February 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080308032657/http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~ms538596/ahdn.html |archive-date=8 March 2008}}</ref> Owen spent several days with the group, who told him their lives were like "a train and a room and a car and a room and a room and a room"; Paul's grandfather refers to this in the dialogue.<ref name="HardDaysNightScript">{{cite web|url=http://www.aellea.com/script/ahdn.htm |title=A Hard Day's Night Script |publisher=aella |access-date=27 February 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080212052752/http://www.aellea.com/script/ahdn.htm|archive-date=12 February 2008 |url-status=live}}</ref> Owen wrote the script from the viewpoint that the Beatles had become prisoners of their own fame, their schedule of performances and recording having become punishing.{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}}
The script comments cheekily on the Beatles' fame. For instance, at one point a fan, played by [[Anna Quayle]], apparently recognises [[John Lennon]], though she cannot put a name to the face, saying only "you are...". He demurs, saying his face is not quite right for "him"; after she puts on her glasses, she agrees that Lennon doesn't "look like him at all", and Lennon says to himself that "she looks more like him than I do".<ref name="HardDaysNightScript" /> Other dialogue is derived from actual interviews with the Beatles; when Ringo is asked if he is a [[Mod (subculture)|mod]] or a [[Rocker (subculture)|rocker]], he replies: "Uh, no, I'm a mocker",<ref name="BBCreviewofFilm">{{cite web|first=Chris |last=Wiegand |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/cinema/features/hard-days-night.shtml |title=Film and Drama: A Hard Day's Night |work=BBC Four Cinema |date=12 December 2005|access-date=27 February 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080307040255/http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/cinema/features/hard-days-night.shtml|archive-date=7 March 2008 |url-status=live}}</ref> a line derived from a joke he had made on the TV show ''[[Ready Steady Go!]]''<ref>{{cite book|author=Barrow, Tony |title=John, Paul, George, Ringo & Me: The Real Beatles Story|publisher=Da Capo Press|date=2006|page=61}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author=Winn, John C. |title=Way Beyond Compare: The Beatles' Recorded Legacy, 1957–1965|publisher=Three Rivers Press|date=2008|page=165}} In the original interview Ringo admits he borrowed the line from John.</ref> The frequent reference to McCartney's grandfather ([[Wilfrid Brambell]]) as a "clean old man" both refers to the Beatles being popularly called “very clean” and inverts the stock description of Brambell's character on the TV series ''[[Steptoe and Son]]'' as a "dirty old man".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/steptoe.htm |title=Television Heaven : Steptoe and Son |access-date=4 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080422222828/http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/steptoe.htm |archive-date=22 April 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
Audiences also responded to the Beatles' brash social impudence. Director Richard Lester said, "The general aim of the film was to present what was apparently becoming a social phenomenon in this country. Anarchy is too strong a word, but the quality of confidence that the boys exuded! Confidence that they could dress as they liked, speak as they liked, talk to the Queen as they liked, talk to the people on the train who 'fought the war for them' as they liked. ... [Everything was] still based on privilege—privilege by schooling, privilege by birth, privilege by accent, privilege by speech. The Beatles were the first people to attack this... they said if you want something, do it. You can do it. Forget all this talk about talent or ability or money or speech. Just do it."<ref>{{cite web|website=Pop Matters|url=http://www.popmatters.com/feature/192382-the-beatles-are-pent-up-prisoners-of-their-own-notoriety-in-a-hard-d/|title=The Beatles are pent up prisoners of their own notoriety in ''A Hard Day's Night''|access-date=12 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150715184149/http://www.popmatters.com/feature/192382-the-beatles-are-pent-up-prisoners-of-their-own-notoriety-in-a-hard-d/|archive-date=15 July 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Casting ===
Irish actor [[Wilfrid Brambell]], who played Paul McCartney's fictional grandfather John McCartney, was already well known to British television audiences as co-star of the sitcom ''Steptoe and Son''. The recurring joke that he was very "clean" reflects a contrast to his sitcom role, where he was always referred to as a "dirty old man". For American audiences, the comment was more of a spoof on the Beatles continually being referenced as "very clean". [[Norman Rossington]] played the Beatles' manager Norm, [[John Junkin]] played the group's [[Road crew|road manager]] Shake, and [[Victor Spinetti]] played the television director.
The supporting cast included [[Richard Vernon]] as the "city gent" on the train and [[Lionel Blair]] as a featured dancer. There were also various cameos. [[John Bluthal]] played a car thief and an uncredited [[Derek Nimmo]] appeared as magician Leslie Jackson. [[David Janson]] (billed as David Jaxon here) played the small boy met by Ringo on his "walkabout". [[Rooney Massara]], who went on to compete in the [[1972 Summer Olympics|1972 Munich Olympics]], was the sculler in the river in the "walkabout" scene by the river at Kew (uncredited). [[Kenneth Haigh]] appeared as an advertising executive who mistakes George for a "new phenomenon". [[David Langton]] also made a cameo appearance as an actor in the dressing room scene.{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}}
[[Mal Evans]], one of the Beatles' road managers, also appears briefly in the film—moving an upright bass through a tight hallway as Lennon talks with the woman who mistakes him for someone else.{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}}
George Harrison met his wife-to-be, [[Pattie Boyd|Patricia Boyd]], on the set when she made a brief (uncredited) appearance as one of the schoolgirls on the train. His initial overtures to her were spurned because she had a boyfriend at the time, but he persisted and they were married within 18 months.<ref name="NewYorkTimesreview">{{cite news|first=Bosley |last=Crowther|url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/21522/A-Hard-Day-s-Night/overview |title=A Hard Day's Night (1964)|access-date=27 February 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080307051108/http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/21522/A-Hard-Day-s-Night/overview|archive-date=7 March 2008 |department=Movies & TV Dept. |work=[[The New York Times]] |author-link=Bosley Crowther |date=2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The girl with Boyd in the dining car scene is Prudence Bury.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ouest-france.fr/actu/actuDet_-Dans-les-sixties-j-ai-swingue-avec-les-Beatles-_3639-526403_actu.Htm |title=Prudence Bury |language=fr |publisher=Ouest-france.fr |access-date=2012-01-17 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100306141848/http://www.ouest-france.fr/actu/actuDet_-Dans-les-sixties-j-ai-swingue-avec-les-Beatles-_3639-526403_actu.Htm |archive-date=6 March 2010}}</ref> [[Phil Collins]], later a member of the band [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]], was an uncredited schoolboy extra in the concert audience and would subsequently go on to be a very successful musician in his own right.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/phil-collins-the-king-lear-of-pop-music-9553182.html |title=Phil Collins: The King Lear of pop music |work=[[The Independent]] |date=20 June 2014 |access-date=30 June 2014 |location=London |first=John |last=Walsh |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140630052858/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/phil-collins-the-king-lear-of-pop-music-9553182.html |archive-date=30 June 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Title ==
The film's title originated from something said by [[Ringo Starr]], who described it this way in an interview with disc jockey [[Dave Hull]] in 1964: "We went to do a job, and we'd worked all day and we happened to work all night. I came up still thinking it was day I suppose, and I said, 'It's been a hard day ...' and I looked around and saw it was dark so I said, '... night!' So we came to ''A Hard Day's Night''."<ref>{{cite book|first=Keith |last=Badman |title=The Beatles Off The Record |year=2000 |publisher=Music Sales Corporation |isbn=978-0-7119-7985-7 |page=93}}</ref>
According to Lennon in a 1980 interview with ''[[Playboy]]'' magazine: "I was going home in the car, and Dick Lester suggested the title, 'Hard Day's Night' from something Ringo had said. I had used it in ''[[In His Own Write]]'', but it was an off-the-cuff remark by Ringo. You know, one of those [[malapropism]]s. A Ringo-ism, where he said it not to be funny... just said it. So Dick Lester said, 'We are going to use that title.'"<ref>cited in {{cite book|last=Dowlding |first=William J. |title=Beatlesongs |year=1989 |isbn=978-0-671-68229-3 |publisher=Fireside}}</ref>
In a 1994 interview for ''[[The Beatles Anthology]]'', however, McCartney disagreed with Lennon's recollections, recalling that it was the Beatles, and not Lester, who had come up with the idea of using Starr's verbal misstep: "The title was Ringo's. We'd almost finished making the film, and this fun bit arrived that we'd not known about before, which was naming the film. So we were sitting around at Twickenham studios having a little brain-storming session ... and we said, 'Well, there was something Ringo said the other day.' Ringo would do these little malapropisms, he would say things slightly wrong, like people do, but his were always wonderful, very lyrical ... they were sort of magic even though he was just getting it wrong. And he said after a concert, 'Phew, it's been a hard day's night.'"<ref>{{cite book |first=Barry |last=Miles |author-link=Barry Miles |title=Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now |year=1997 |page=[https://archive.org/details/paulmccartneyman00mile/page/164 164] |publisher=Henry Holt & Company |location=New York |isbn=0-8050-5249-6 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/paulmccartneyman00mile/page/164 }}</ref>
Yet another version of events appeared in 1996; producer Walter Shenson said that Lennon had described to him some of Starr's funnier gaffes, including "a hard day's night", whereupon Shenson immediately decided that that was going to be the title of the film.<ref>{{cite web |last=Campbell |first=Mary |title=Restored 'Hard Day's Night,' 'Help!' part of AMC festival |url=http://www.southcoasttoday.com/daily/07-96/07-01-96/c02ae072.htm |url-status=dead |work=South Coast Today |date=1 July 1996 |access-date=4 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081204201959/http://www.southcoasttoday.com/daily/07-96/07-01-96/c02ae072.htm |archive-date=4 December 2008}}</ref>

'''''A Hard Day's Night''''' is a 1964 [[Musical film|musical]] [[comedy film]] starring the English [[Rock music|rock]] band [[the Beatles]] – [[John Lennon]], [[Paul McCartney]], [[George Harrison]] and [[Ringo Starr]] – during the height of [[Beatlemania]].

The film was a financial and critical success and was nominated for two [[Academy Awards]], including [[Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay|Best Original Screenplay]].

== Plot ==
<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, the plot summary should be 400-700 words. -->
The four Beatles evade a horde of fans while boarding a train for London to film a televised [[variety show]] concert. En route, they meet [[Paul McCartney]]'s trouble-making Irish grandfather John. The band entertains some schoolgirls and plays cards with their manager Norm and road manager Shake before arriving in London. They are quickly driven from the station to a hotel and begin to feel confined. Norm brings each Beatle a pile of [[fan mail]] and tasks them with answering each letter, but they sneak out to party. Norm and Shake catch them and order them back to the room, where they find out that Paul's grandfather has gone to a gambling club using an invitation sent to Ringo; they track him down and bring him back to the hotel.
The next day, the Beatles arrive at a TV studio for rehearsals. The television producer assumes bad faith in them due to something Paul's grandfather said. After a mundane cocktail reception where the group tease reporters with comic and evasive answers to interview questions, they leave through a fire escape and cavort in a field until forced off by its caretaker. Back in the studio, they are separated when a woman thinks she recognizes [[John Lennon]] but cannot recall who he is. [[George Harrison]] is mistaken for an actor, dragged into an advertising agent's office, and auditioned for a clothing advertisement, but offends the agent by calling the shirts he is presented with "grotesque". The band returns to rehearse a second song and, after a quick trip to makeup, smoothly goes through a third before earning a break.
An hour before the final run-through, [[Ringo Starr]] is cajoled into chaperoning Paul's grandfather to the studio canteen for tea. He takes issue with [[Anatomy of a Murder|a book]] Ringo is reading and manipulates him into going out "parading" to experience life rather than reading about it in books. Ringo tries to have a quiet drink in a pub, takes pictures, walks alongside the [[River Thames]], and rides a bicycle along a railway station platform.{{Efn-la|This scene was filmed at {{rws|Crowcombe Heathfield}} on the [[West Somerset Railway]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.west-somerset-railway.co.uk/Crowcombe_Heathfield.html |title=Crowcombe Heathfield |access-date=3 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080513171103/http://www.west-somerset-railway.co.uk/Crowcombe_Heathfield.html |archive-date=13 May 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref>}} After being ejected from the pub for nearly injuring a parrot with a [[Darts|dart]] and accidentally causing a woman to fall into a newly dug hole at a construction site, Ringo is apprehended by a policeman. He is shortly joined by Paul's grandfather, who had triggered a ruckus attempting to sell Beatles photos with autographs he had forged. The grandfather antagonizes the policemen at the station before running back to the studio to tell the others about Ringo. Norm sends the other three Beatles to retrieve him, which leads to a [[Keystone Cops]]-style foot chase. Arriving back at the studio with only minutes to spare before airtime, the Beatles deliver a smashing performance to an audience of screaming, delirious fans. Immediately afterwards, a helicopter whisks the group away toward a "midnight matinée" engagement in [[Wolverhampton]]. Paul tosses the forged autographs out of the helicopter as it takes off.

== Songs ==
The film's credits incorrectly state that all songs are composed by [[Lennon–McCartney|John Lennon and Paul McCartney]] – a portion of "[[Don't Bother Me]]", written by [[George Harrison]], is heard during one scene. The instrumental versions were recorded by the [[The George Martin Orchestra|George Martin Orchestra]].

In addition to [[A Hard Day's Night (album)|the soundtrack album]], an EP (in mono) of songs from the film titled ''Extracts From The Film A Hard Day's Night'' was released by [[Parlophone]] on 6 November 1964, having the following tracks:{{sfn|Miles|2001|p=176}}
* Side A
# "I Should Have Known Better"
# "If I Fell"
* Side B
# "Tell Me Why"
# "And I Love Her"
=== Song notes ===
* "[[I'll Cry Instead]]" was among several songs considered for the film but ultimately not included either as an on-camera performance or for usage as an audio-only track. It was to be used during the police chase sequence, but ultimately director Richard Lester vetoed it in favor of the more lyrically upbeat "Can't Buy Me Love". Its status as an early contender for inclusion led to the song being included on the US soundtrack album plus the mono “Something New” LP and Capitol 45. The song was recorded in two sections and was going to be featured in two parts with the break being when the Beatles return to the police station to catch their breath. The unique full-length version, which has a repeat of the first verse, was mixed as a rough mono mix and sent to United Artists and Capitol Records in North America. This “lost” section wasn’t just an edit of the beginning of the song but a separate take (second “section” of the two part recording). Eventually, the final mono and stereo mixes edit out this repeat of the first verse.
* In the 1982 US theatrical reissue of the film by Universal Pictures, under licence from [[Walter Shenson]], the song "I'll Cry Instead" was used as the audio track for a prologue sequence to the film which consisted of stills from the film and publicity photographs as a tribute to Lennon consisting of a [[Swinging Sixties]]-style collage of photos of the Beatles in 1964 around the time they were shooting the film. The prologue was assembled without the involvement or knowledge of the film's director Richard Lester, who subsequently expressed his disapproval of the addition.<ref name="Morton">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=58-V1IvsX8UC|title=A Hard Day's Night|last=Morton|first=Ray|publisher=Limelight Editions|year=2011|isbn=978-0-87910-388-0|location=Milwaukee WI|access-date=15 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161223113254/https://books.google.com/books?id=58-V1IvsX8UC&printsec=frontcover|archive-date=23 December 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>{{rp|pp.119–120}} The prologue was not included on the 2000 restoration of the film.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/dvdcompare2/harddaysnight.htm|title=A Hard Day's Night (aka "Beatles No. 1" )|publisher=dvdbeaver.com|access-date=9 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120424232449/http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/dvdcompare2/harddaysnight.htm|archive-date=24 April 2012|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite book| last=Harry| first=Bill| year=1994| author-link=Bill Harry| title=The Ultimate Beatles Encyclopedia|page=322}}</ref>
* The song "[[You Can't Do That]]" was filmed as part of the film's TV concert sequence but was not included in the final cut of the film. At a point before a decision had been made to excise the song from the film, footage of that performance had been sent by the filmmakers and Brian Epstein to be aired on ''The Ed Sullivan Show'' as a tease to promote the forthcoming release of the film. The clip aired on the Sullivan show on Sunday, 24 May 1964 in conjunction with an interview with The Beatles specially filmed by Sullivan in London.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UwvYhxcBr5oC|title=Way Beyond Compare: The Beatles' Recorded Legacy, Volume One, 1957–1965|last=Winn|first=John C.|publisher=Three Rivers Press|year=2008|location=New York|pages=166|isbn=9780307452382|access-date=15 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140405003203/http://books.google.com/books?id=UwvYhxcBr5oC&printsec=frontcover|archive-date=5 April 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> An extract of the footage of the song performance was included in the 1994 documentary ''The Making of "A Hard Day's Night"''.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Russell|first=Deborah|date=21 January 1995|title=PBS Special Examines Beatles' Film|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uAsEAAAAMBAJ&q=a%20hard%20day's%20night%20you%20can't%20do%20that&pg=PA8|magazine=Billboard|access-date=9 September 2012|archive-date=21 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210521080334/https://books.google.com/books?id=uAsEAAAAMBAJ&q=a+hard+day%27s+night+you+can%27t+do+that&pg=PA8|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Screenplay ==
The screenplay was written by [[Alun Owen]], who was chosen because the Beatles were familiar with his play ''[[No Trams to Lime Street]]'', and he had shown an aptitude for writing in the group's native [[Scouse|Scouse dialect]]. McCartney commented, "Alun hung around with us and was careful to try and put words in our mouths that he might've heard us speak, so I thought he did a very good script."<ref name="HardDaysNightFilmSummary">{{cite web |url=http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~ms538596/ahdn.html |title=A Hard Day's Night Film Summary and comments from The Beatles |access-date=27 February 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080308032657/http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~ms538596/ahdn.html |archive-date=8 March 2008}}</ref> Owen spent several days with the group, who told him their lives were like "a train and a room and a car and a room and a room and a room"; Paul's grandfather refers to this in the dialogue.<ref name="HardDaysNightScript">{{cite web|url=http://www.aellea.com/script/ahdn.htm |title=A Hard Day's Night Script |publisher=aella |access-date=27 February 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080212052752/http://www.aellea.com/script/ahdn.htm|archive-date=12 February 2008 |url-status=live}}</ref> Owen wrote the script from the viewpoint that the Beatles had become prisoners of their own fame, their schedule of performances and recording having become punishing.{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}}
The script comments cheekily on the Beatles' fame. For instance, at one point a fan, played by [[Anna Quayle]], apparently recognises [[John Lennon]], though she cannot put a name to the face, saying only "you are...". He demurs, saying his face is not quite right for "him"; after she puts on her glasses, she agrees that Lennon doesn't "look like him at all", and Lennon says to himself that "she looks more like him than I do".<ref name="HardDaysNightScript" /> Other dialogue is derived from actual interviews with the Beatles; when Ringo is asked if he is a [[Mod (subculture)|mod]] or a [[Rocker (subculture)|rocker]], he replies: "Uh, no, I'm a mocker",<ref name="BBCreviewofFilm">{{cite web|first=Chris |last=Wiegand |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/cinema/features/hard-days-night.shtml |title=Film and Drama: A Hard Day's Night |work=BBC Four Cinema |date=12 December 2005|access-date=27 February 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080307040255/http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/cinema/features/hard-days-night.shtml|archive-date=7 March 2008 |url-status=live}}</ref> a line derived from a joke he had made on the TV show ''[[Ready Steady Go!]]''<ref>{{cite book|author=Barrow, Tony |title=John, Paul, George, Ringo & Me: The Real Beatles Story|publisher=Da Capo Press|date=2006|page=61}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author=Winn, John C. |title=Way Beyond Compare: The Beatles' Recorded Legacy, 1957–1965|publisher=Three Rivers Press|date=2008|page=165}} In the original interview Ringo admits he borrowed the line from John.</ref> The frequent reference to McCartney's grandfather ([[Wilfrid Brambell]]) as a "clean old man" both refers to the Beatles being popularly called “very clean” and inverts the stock description of Brambell's character on the TV series ''[[Steptoe and Son]]'' as a "dirty old man".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/steptoe.htm |title=Television Heaven : Steptoe and Son |access-date=4 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080422222828/http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/steptoe.htm |archive-date=22 April 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
Audiences also responded to the Beatles' brash social impudence. Director Richard Lester said, "The general aim of the film was to present what was apparently becoming a social phenomenon in this country. Anarchy is too strong a word, but the quality of confidence that the boys exuded! Confidence that they could dress as they liked, speak as they liked, talk to the Queen as they liked, talk to the people on the train who 'fought the war for them' as they liked. ... [Everything was] still based on privilege—privilege by schooling, privilege by birth, privilege by accent, privilege by speech. The Beatles were the first people to attack this... they said if you want something, do it. You can do it. Forget all this talk about talent or ability or money or speech. Just do it."<ref>{{cite web|website=Pop Matters|url=http://www.popmatters.com/feature/192382-the-beatles-are-pent-up-prisoners-of-their-own-notoriety-in-a-hard-d/|title=The Beatles are pent up prisoners of their own notoriety in ''A Hard Day's Night''|access-date=12 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150715184149/http://www.popmatters.com/feature/192382-the-beatles-are-pent-up-prisoners-of-their-own-notoriety-in-a-hard-d/|archive-date=15 July 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Casting ===
Irish actor [[Wilfrid Brambell]], who played Paul McCartney's fictional grandfather John McCartney, was already well known to British television audiences as co-star of the sitcom ''Steptoe and Son''. The recurring joke that he was very "clean" reflects a contrast to his sitcom role, where he was always referred to as a "dirty old man". For American audiences, the comment was more of a spoof on the Beatles continually being referenced as "very clean". [[Norman Rossington]] played the Beatles' manager Norm, [[John Junkin]] played the group's [[Road crew|road manager]] Shake, and [[Victor Spinetti]] played the television director.
The supporting cast included [[Richard Vernon]] as the "city gent" on the train and [[Lionel Blair]] as a featured dancer. There were also various cameos. [[John Bluthal]] played a car thief and an uncredited [[Derek Nimmo]] appeared as magician Leslie Jackson. [[David Janson]] (billed as David Jaxon here) played the small boy met by Ringo on his "walkabout". [[Rooney Massara]], who went on to compete in the [[1972 Summer Olympics|1972 Munich Olympics]], was the sculler in the river in the "walkabout" scene by the river at Kew (uncredited). [[Kenneth Haigh]] appeared as an advertising executive who mistakes George for a "new phenomenon". [[David Langton]] also made a cameo appearance as an actor in the dressing room scene.{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}}
[[Mal Evans]], one of the Beatles' road managers, also appears briefly in the film—moving an upright bass through a tight hallway as Lennon talks with the woman who mistakes him for someone else.{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}}
George Harrison met his wife-to-be, [[Pattie Boyd|Patricia Boyd]], on the set when she made a brief (uncredited) appearance as one of the schoolgirls on the train. His initial overtures to her were spurned because she had a boyfriend at the time, but he persisted and they were married within 18 months.<ref name="NewYorkTimesreview">{{cite news|first=Bosley |last=Crowther|url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/21522/A-Hard-Day-s-Night/overview |title=A Hard Day's Night (1964)|access-date=27 February 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080307051108/http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/21522/A-Hard-Day-s-Night/overview|archive-date=7 March 2008 |department=Movies & TV Dept. |work=[[The New York Times]] |author-link=Bosley Crowther |date=2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The girl with Boyd in the dining car scene is Prudence Bury.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ouest-france.fr/actu/actuDet_-Dans-les-sixties-j-ai-swingue-avec-les-Beatles-_3639-526403_actu.Htm |title=Prudence Bury |language=fr |publisher=Ouest-france.fr |access-date=2012-01-17 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100306141848/http://www.ouest-france.fr/actu/actuDet_-Dans-les-sixties-j-ai-swingue-avec-les-Beatles-_3639-526403_actu.Htm |archive-date=6 March 2010}}</ref> [[Phil Collins]], later a member of the band [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]], was an uncredited schoolboy extra in the concert audience and would subsequently go on to be a very successful musician in his own right.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/phil-collins-the-king-lear-of-pop-music-9553182.html |title=Phil Collins: The King Lear of pop music |work=[[The Independent]] |date=20 June 2014 |access-date=30 June 2014 |location=London |first=John |last=Walsh |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140630052858/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/phil-collins-the-king-lear-of-pop-music-9553182.html |archive-date=30 June 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Title ==
The film's title originated from something said by [[Ringo Starr]], who described it this way in an interview with disc jockey [[Dave Hull]] in 1964: "We went to do a job, and we'd worked all day and we happened to work all night. I came up still thinking it was day I suppose, and I said, 'It's been a hard day ...' and I looked around and saw it was dark so I said, '... night!' So we came to ''A Hard Day's Night''."<ref>{{cite book|first=Keith |last=Badman |title=The Beatles Off The Record |year=2000 |publisher=Music Sales Corporation |isbn=978-0-7119-7985-7 |page=93}}</ref>
According to Lennon in a 1980 interview with ''[[Playboy]]'' magazine: "I was going home in the car, and Dick Lester suggested the title, 'Hard Day's Night' from something Ringo had said. I had used it in ''[[In His Own Write]]'', but it was an off-the-cuff remark by Ringo. You know, one of those [[malapropism]]s. A Ringo-ism, where he said it not to be funny... just said it. So Dick Lester said, 'We are going to use that title.'"<ref>cited in {{cite book|last=Dowlding |first=William J. |title=Beatlesongs |year=1989 |isbn=978-0-671-68229-3 |publisher=Fireside}}</ref>
In a 1994 interview for ''[[The Beatles Anthology]]'', however, McCartney disagreed with Lennon's recollections, recalling that it was the Beatles, and not Lester, who had come up with the idea of using Starr's verbal misstep: "The title was Ringo's. We'd almost finished making the film, and this fun bit arrived that we'd not known about before, which was naming the film. So we were sitting around at Twickenham studios having a little brain-storming session ... and we said, 'Well, there was something Ringo said the other day.' Ringo would do these little malapropisms, he would say things slightly wrong, like people do, but his were always wonderful, very lyrical ... they were sort of magic even though he was just getting it wrong. And he said after a concert, 'Phew, it's been a hard day's night.'"<ref>{{cite book |first=Barry |last=Miles |author-link=Barry Miles |title=Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now |year=1997 |page=[https://archive.org/details/paulmccartneyman00mile/page/164 164] |publisher=Henry Holt & Company |location=New York |isbn=0-8050-5249-6 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/paulmccartneyman00mile/page/164 }}</ref>
Yet another version of events appeared in 1996; producer Walter Shenson said that Lennon had described to him some of Starr's funnier gaffes, including "a hard day's night", whereupon Shenson immediately decided that that was going to be the title of the film.<ref>{{cite web |last=Campbell |first=Mary |title=Restored 'Hard Day's Night,' 'Help!' part of AMC festival |url=http://www.southcoasttoday.com/daily/07-96/07-01-96/c02ae072.htm |url-status=dead |work=South Coast Today |date=1 July 1996 |access-date=4 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081204201959/http://www.southcoasttoday.com/daily/07-96/07-01-96/c02ae072.htm |archive-date=4 December 2008}}</ref>

<p>The four Beatles evade a horde of fans while boarding a train for London to film a televised <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variety_show" title="Variety show">variety show</a> concert. En route, they meet <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCartney" title="Paul McCartney">Paul McCartney</a>'s trouble-making Irish grandfather John. The band entertains some schoolgirls and plays cards with their manager Norm and road manager Shake before arriving in London. They are quickly driven from the station to a hotel and begin to feel confined. Norm brings each Beatle a pile of <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_mail" title="Fan mail">fan mail</a> and tasks them with answering each letter, but they sneak out to party. Norm and Shake catch them and order them back to the room, where they find out that Paul's grandfather has gone to a gambling club using an invitation sent to Ringo; they track him down and bring him back to the hotel.
</p><p>The next day, the Beatles arrive at a TV studio for rehearsals. The television producer assumes bad faith in them due to something Paul's grandfather said. After a mundane cocktail reception where the group tease reporters with comic and evasive answers to interview questions, they leave through a fire escape and cavort in a field until forced off by its caretaker. Back in the studio, they are separated when a woman thinks she recognizes <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon" title="John Lennon">John Lennon</a> but cannot recall who he is. <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Harrison" title="George Harrison">George Harrison</a> is mistaken for an actor, dragged into an advertising agent's office, and auditioned for a clothing advertisement, but offends the agent by calling the shirts he is presented with "grotesque". The band returns to rehearse a second song and, after a quick trip to makeup, smoothly goes through a third before earning a break.
</p><p>An hour before the final run-through, <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringo_Starr" title="Ringo Starr">Ringo Starr</a> is cajoled into chaperoning Paul's grandfather to the studio canteen for tea. He takes issue with <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_a_Murder" title="Anatomy of a Murder">a book</a> Ringo is reading and manipulates him into going out "parading" to experience life rather than reading about it in books. Ringo tries to have a quiet drink in a pub, takes pictures, walks alongside the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Thames" title="River Thames">River Thames</a>, and rides a bicycle along a railway station platform.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>b<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After being ejected from the pub for nearly injuring a parrot with a <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darts" title="Darts">dart</a> and accidentally causing a woman to fall into a newly dug hole at a construction site, Ringo is apprehended by a policeman. He is shortly joined by Paul's grandfather, who had triggered a ruckus attempting to sell Beatles photos with autographs he had forged. The grandfather antagonizes the policemen at the station before running back to the studio to tell the others about Ringo. Norm sends the other three Beatles to retrieve him, which leads to a <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone_Cops" title="Keystone Cops">Keystone Cops</a>-style foot chase. Arriving back at the studio with only minutes to spare before airtime, the Beatles deliver a smashing performance to an audience of screaming, delirious fans. Immediately afterwards, a helicopter whisks the group away toward a "midnight matinée" engagement in <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverhampton" title="Wolverhampton">Wolverhampton</a>. Paul tosses the forged autographs out of the helicopter as it takes off.

<ul><li>"<a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27ll_Cry_Instead" title="I'll Cry Instead">I'll Cry Instead</a>" was among several songs considered for the film but ultimately not included either as an on-camera performance or for usage as an audio-only track. It was to be used during the police chase sequence, but ultimately director Richard Lester vetoed it in favor of the more lyrically upbeat "Can't Buy Me Love". Its status as an early contender for inclusion led to the song being included on the US soundtrack album plus the mono “Something New” LP and Capitol 45. The song was recorded in two sections and was going to be featured in two parts with the break being when the Beatles return to the police station to catch their breath. The unique full-length version, which has a repeat of the first verse, was mixed as a rough mono mix and sent to United Artists and Capitol Records in North America. This “lost” section wasn’t just an edit of the beginning of the song but a separate take (second “section” of the two part recording). Eventually, the final mono and stereo mixes edit out this repeat of the first verse.</li>

<p>The screenplay was written by <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alun_Owen" title="Alun Owen">Alun Owen</a>, who was chosen because the Beatles were familiar with his play <i><a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Trams_to_Lime_Street" title="No Trams to Lime Street">No Trams to Lime Street</a></i>, and he had shown an aptitude for writing in the group's native <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouse" title="Scouse">Scouse dialect</a>.

</p><p>Audiences also responded to the Beatles' brash social impudence.

Confidence that they could dress as they liked, speak as they liked, talk to the Queen as they liked, talk to the people on the train who 'fought the war for them' as they liked. ... [Everything was] still based on privilege—privilege by schooling, privilege by birth, privilege by accent, privilege by speech.

<p>The film's title originated from something said by <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringo_Starr" title="Ringo Starr">Ringo Starr</a>, who described it this way in an interview with disc jockey <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Hull" title="Dave Hull">Dave Hull</a> in 1964: "We went to do a job, and we'd worked all day and we happened to work all night. I came up still thinking it was day I suppose, and I said, 'It's been a hard day ...' and I looked around and saw it was dark so I said, '... night!'

</p><p>According to Lennon in a 1980 interview with <i><a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playboy" title="Playboy">Playboy</a></i> magazine: "I was going home in the car, and Dick Lester suggested the title, 'Hard Day's Night' from something Ringo had said.

</p><p>In a 1994 interview for <i><a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles_Anthology" title="The Beatles Anthology">The Beatles Anthology</a></i>, however, McCartney disagreed with Lennon's recollections, recalling that it was the Beatles, and not Lester, who had come up with the idea of using Starr's verbal misstep: "The title was Ringo's. We'd almost finished making the film, and this fun bit arrived that we'd not known about before, which was naming the film. So we were sitting around at Twickenham studios having a little brain-storming session ... and we said, 'Well, there was something Ringo said the other day.' Ringo would do these little malapropisms, he would say things slightly wrong, like people do, but his were always wonderful, very lyrical ... they were sort of magic even though he was just getting it wrong.

</p><p>Yet another version of events appeared in 1996; producer Walter Shenson said that Lennon had described to him some of Starr's funnier gaffes, including "a hard day's night", whereupon Shenson immediately decided that that was going to be the title of the film.<sup id="cite_ref-72" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-72"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>70<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
